The following Managed C++/CLI 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 SmtpMail.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.

Before you can use the following codes, please download EASendMail SMTP Component and install it on your machine at first. Full sample proejcts are included in this installer.
Install from NuGet
You can also install the run-time assembly by NuGet. Run the following command in the NuGet Package Manager Console:
Install-Package EASendMail
Note
If you install it by NuGet, no sample projects are installed, only .NET assembly is installed.
To use EASendMail SMTP Component in your project, the first step is Add reference
of EASendMail to your project
. Please create or open your project with Visual Studio,
then go to menu
-> Project
-> Add Reference
-> .NET
-> Browse...
, and select
Installation Path\Lib\net[version]\EASendMail.dll
from your disk, click Open
-> OK
, the reference of EASendMail
will be added to your project, and you can start to use it to send email

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.
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace EASendMail;
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
try
{
SmtpMail ^oMail = gcnew SmtpMail("TryIt");
// Set sender email address, please change it to yours
oMail->From = "test@emailarchitect.net";
// Set recipient email address, please change it to yours
oMail->To = gcnew AddressCollection("support@emailarchitect.net");
// Load EML file to a binary data
FileStream ^fs = gcnew FileStream("c:\\my folder\\test.eml",
FileMode::Open, FileAccess::Read, FileShare::Read);
array<Byte> ^data = gcnew array<Byte>(fs->Length);
fs->Read(data, 0, fs->Length);
fs->Close();
// Your SMTP server address
SmtpServer ^oServer = gcnew SmtpServer("smtp.emailarchitect.net");
// User and password for ESMTP authentication, if your server doesn't require
// User authentication, please remove the following codes.
oServer->User = "test@emailarchitect.net";
oServer->Password = "testpassword";
// Most mordern SMTP servers require SSL/TLS connection now.
// ConnectTryTLS means if server supports SSL/TLS, SSL/TLS will be used automatically.
oServer->ConnectType = SmtpConnectType::ConnectTryTLS;
// If your SMTP server uses 587 port
// oServer->Port = 587;
// If your SMTP server requires SSL/TLS connection on 25/587/465 port
// oServer->Port = 25; // 25 or 587 or 465
// oServer->ConnectType = SmtpConnectType::ConnectSSLAuto;
// Forward Eml file with 100% original data
Console::WriteLine("start to send email from Managed C++...");
SmtpClient ^oSmtp = gcnew SmtpClient();
oSmtp->SendRawMail(oServer, data, oMail->From, oMail->To);
Console::WriteLine("email was sent successfully!");
}
catch (Exception ^ep)
{
Console::WriteLine("failed to send email with the following error:");
Console::WriteLine(ep->Message);
}
return 0;
}
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
