# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# The mailman object is used for sending (SMTP) and receiving (POP3) email.
mailman = Chilkat::CkMailMan.new()

# Set the SMTP server.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.my-tls-mail-server.com")

# Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.put_SmtpUsername("MY_SMTP_USERNAME")
mailman.put_SmtpPassword("MY_SMTP_PASSWORD")

# Connect to SMTP port 465 using TLS.
mailman.put_SmtpSsl(true)
mailman.put_SmtpPort(465)

# Create a new email object

# To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

# Add some attachments.
# The AddFileAttachment method returns the value of the content-type it chose for the attachment.

# The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
# open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
# same connection.
