The following c++ 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.
Sections:
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 C++ project, the first step is “Add
header files of EASendMail to your project”. Please go to C:\Program Files\EASendMail\Include\tlh
or C:\Program Files (x86)\EASendMail\Include\tlh
folder,
find easendmailobj.tlh
and easendmailobj.tli
, and then copy these
files to your project folder.
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"
#include <tchar.h>

// require User authentication, please remove the following codes.
oSmtp->UserName = _T("test@emailarchitect.net");

// Most mordern SMTP servers require SSL/TLS connection now.
// ConnectTryTLS means if server supports SSL/TLS, SSL/TLS will be used automatically.
oSmtp->ConnectType = ConnectTryTLS;
// If your SMTP server uses 587 port
// oSmtp->ServerPort = 587;
// If your SMTP server requires SSL/TLS connection on 25/587/465 port
// oSmtp->ServerPort = 25; // 25 or 587 or 465
// oSmtp->ConnectType = ConnectSSLAuto;
_tprintf(_T("Start to send email ...\r\n"));
// Forward EML file with 100% original data
if(oSmtp->SendMail() == 0)
{
_tprintf(_T("email was sent successfully!\r\n"));
}
else
{
_tprintf(_T("failed to send email with the following error: %s\r\n"),

}
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
