Create MDN (Message Disposition Notification) Email
Demonstrates how to create a MDN (Message Disposition Notification) Email having the format as defined in RFC 3798.Chilkat PHP ActiveX Downloads
<?php
$success = 0;
$email = new COM("Chilkat.Email");
// An MDN can be used to notify the
// sender of a message of any of several conditions that may occur after
// successful delivery, such as display of the message contents,
// printing of the message, deletion (without display) of the message,
// or the recipient's refusal to provide MDNs.
// (for more information, see RFC 3798)
// IMPORTANT:
// Note: Please be careful in sending automated MDN's.
// It is important to be aware of an issue called "backscatter".
// See the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29
// The ToMdn method is called to create a new
// MDN email based upon the email object calling ToMdn.
// The email object instance used to call ToMdn would
// typically be an email received from a POP3 or IMAP server.
// In this case, to simplify the example, we'll load the email
// from a .eml file.
// This example will be creating a MDN for "someEmail.eml"
$success = $email->LoadEml('someEmail.eml');
if ($success == 0) {
print $email->LastErrorText . "\n";
exit;
}
// The MDN created by ToMdn will contain a
// "message/disposition-notification" MIME sub-part that will
// be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
// See RFC 3798 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3798 )
// The name-value content for this part is passed
// as XML to ToMdn. This part of the example
// prepares the XML:
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
// For this example, we're just adding a few name-value pairs.
// These should not be considered to be correct, required or
// even sensible -- they are simply for the example.
$xml->Tag = 'DispositionFields';
$xml->NewChild2('Disposition','manual-action/MDN-sent-manually; displayed');
$xml->NewChild2('Original-Message-ID',$email->getHeaderField('Message-ID'));
$xml->NewChild2('Final-Recipient',$email->getToAddr(0));
$xmlStr = $xml->getXml();
// The last argument to be passed to ToMdn will be a boolean
// indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
// email object in the MDN, or only the header.
// It may make sense to include the entire email for small emails,
// but for large emails (with large attachments) it's probably
// best to make the MDN header-only.
$bHeaderOnly = 1;
// The first argument to be passed to ToMdn will
// be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
// into the 1st MIME part of the MDN (see RFC 3798).
$humanReadableExplanation = 'Blah blah blah. Your message has been received and displayed. Blah blah blah';
// OK, we're ready to create MDN...
$mdnEmail = new COM("Chilkat.Email");
$success = $email->ToMdn($humanReadableExplanation,$xmlStr,$bHeaderOnly,$mdnEmail);
if ($success == 0) {
print $email->LastErrorText . "\n";
exit;
}
// Show the MIME of the source (original) email:
print $email->getMime() . "\n";
print '**************************************' . "\n";
// Show the MIME of the MDN email:
print $mdnEmail->getMime() . "\n";
// Sample output showing the MIME of the original email,
// and the MDN email created based upon it:
