The following delphi example codes demonstrate how to load EML file and forward it to specified recipient.
EML file is e-mail message saved by Microsoft Outlook Express or other e-mail programs; may also contain an e-mail attachment, or file sent with the message.
If you want to load EML file and edit it, you can use LoadMessage method to load EML file and edit it.
If you do not want to edit the EML file, and you just need to simply forward the EML file to other recipient with 100% original data, then please see the following example codes.

EASendMail is a SMTP component which supports all operations of SMTP/ESMTP protocols (RFC 821, RFC 822, RFC 2554). Before you can use the following example codes, you should download the EASendMail Installer and install it on your machine at first.
To use EASendMail SMTP ActiveX Object in your Delphi project, the first step is “Add Unit file of EASendMail to your project”.
Please go to C:\Program Files\EASendMail\Include\delphi
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\EASendMail\Include\delphi
folder, find EASendMailObjLib_TLB.pas
,
and then copy this file to your project folder.
unit Unit1;
interface
// include EASendMailObjLib_TLB unit to your Delphi Project
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, EASendMailObjLib_TLB, StdCtrls;
You can also create “EASendMailObjLib_TLB.pas” manually like this:
Delphi 7
Please choose menu -> Project
-> Import Type Library
and select EASendMailObj ActiveX Object
,
click Create Unit
, the reference of EASendMail ActiveX Object will be added to your project.
Delphi XE
If you use Delphi XE to import the Type library, Please choose menu
-> Component
-> Import Component
-> Import Type Library
-> and select
EASendMailObj ActiveX Object
-> have Generate Component Wrapper
checked -> Create Unit.
Then you can start to use it in your Delphi Project.
The following example codes demonstrate sending EML file using SMTP server.
In order to run it correctly, please change SMTP server
, user
, password
, sender
, recipient
value to yours.
Note
To get full sample projects, please download and install EASendMail on your machine.

// oSmtp.ServerPort := 587;

// oSmtp.ConnectType := ConnectSSLAuto;
// oSmtp.ServerPort := 587; // 25 or 587 or 465
ShowMessage('start to send email ...');
// Forward EML file with 100% orignal data
If oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 Then
ShowMessage('email was sent successfully!')
Else
ShowMessage('failed to send email with the following error: '
+ oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription());
End;
End.
TLS is the successor of SSL, more and more SMTP servers require TLS 1.2
encryption now.
If your operating system is Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 2003/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2
, you need to
enable TLS 1.2 protocol in your operating system like this:
Enable TLS 1.2 on Windows XP/Vista/7/10/Windows 2008/2008 R2/2012
