# 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.
set mailman [new_CkMailMan]

# Set the SMTP server.
CkMailMan_put_SmtpHost $mailman "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

# Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
CkMailMan_put_SmtpUsername $mailman "myLogin"
CkMailMan_put_SmtpPassword $mailman "myPassword"

# Create a new email object
set email [new_CkEmail]

# Load a .eml file into the email object.
set success [CkEmail_LoadEml $email "/data/myEmail.eml"]

# 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.  
set success [CkMailMan_SendEmail $mailman $email]
if {$success != 1} then {
    puts [CkMailMan_lastErrorText $mailman]
    delete_CkMailMan $mailman
    delete_CkEmail $email
    exit
}

# 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:
set success [CkMailMan_CloseSmtpConnection $mailman]
if {$success != 1} then {
    puts "Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly."
}

puts "Mail Sent!"
