# 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 the SMTP server.

# Load the .cer file into a certificate object.
# When sending S/MIME encrypted email, it is the recipient's
# certificate that is used for encryption.  Only the public key
# is needed to encrypt.  The recipient is the only
# one possessing the private key, and therefore is the only
# one able to decrypt.
