Load EML and Send

Demonstrates how to load an email from a .eml file and send. Rust

// 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 and receiving email.
let mailman = chilkat::MailMan::new();

// Set the SMTP server.
mailman.set_smtp_host("smtp.chilkatsoft.com");

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.set_smtp_username("myLogin");
mailman.set_smtp_password("myPassword");

// Create a new email object
let email = chilkat::Email::new();

// Load a .eml file into the email object.
let _ = email.load_eml("/data/myEmail.eml").is_ok();

// Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
// The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
// open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
// same connection.  
if mailman.send_email(&email).is_err() {
    println!("{}", mailman.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
// the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
// call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
// Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
// not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
// for the example:
if mailman.close_smtp_connection().is_err() {
    println!("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
}

println!("Mail Sent!");
