jwSMTP C++ code for sending email / News: Recent posts

Bugfix:
makesmtpmessage now uses strftime to format date string for email headers. sn4k3 suggestion
Bcc no longer added to header. bugfix, Should never have been added to the envelope!

Quick note have not touched the WIN32 code in a few years, also was coded in VC6 so way
out of date. I do not change this code just here for the chance that it will work in windows

version 1.32.13 Jul 4th 2006
Bugfix:
mailer.cpp warning about type hiding mailer::type (changed to typ)
Winfried Mevenkamp pointed out possible buffer overflow after recv calls, fixed by making
all recv calls say the buffer is one shorter than passed e.g.
Recv(len1, s, buff, buffsize -1, 0);
then
buff[len1] = '\0';
does not overwrite if buffsize characters are received.
Added Closesocket cleanup call if error in dns code line 1113 (also Winfried's suggestion). ... read more

version 1.32.12 Jan 26th 2006
Bugfix:
checkRFCcompat() invalidates iterator!
added iterator reassignment to fix, thanks

Also did not comply fully with rfc 821
section 4.5.2. TRANSPARENCY, fixed.

version 1.32.11 May 15th 2005
Bugfix:
On the BSD's will not compile because of the timezone function. Corrected this to use the tm structure tm_gmtoff member instead. See mailer.cpp Line 771

version 1.32.10 May 2005
Bugfix:
Forgot to clear the headerline variable in makesmtpmessage (line 894) results in extra attachment artifacts. Thanks Jim Steel for the pointer and fix.

version 1.32.9 April 2005
Bugfix:
When attaching files with filename less than 4 characters causes terminate call as substr is overrun, big oopsy. Can now attach files of 1 character and up, as it should be, wow what an idiot

Added a bugfix for timezone
Optimized for large attachments
please see Changelog file

Thanks

version 1.32.7 March 2005
Minor bug fix.
line 815 of mailer.cpp missing else clause
(bug found by Thomas Pflger, Thanks)
This did not upset the logic, just halted its processing.
Essentially two if/else blocks were present instead of one.

version 1.32.6 February 2005 Minor bug fix.
parseaddress has a minor bug, cuts off the end of a name outside of <> characters if the name is at the beginning of the address i.e. "hoopla girl<hoopla@wibble.com>"
ends up: "hoopla gir"
If your intersted see line 1237 of mailer.cpp for explanation
(bug found by David Irwin, thanks David)

Replaced checklinesarelessthan1000chars with checkRFCcompat
this function now also checks for invalid line breaks and fixes them up.
qmail will no longer balk with ....Lame Server... issues.
If a dot is in the message on a line by itself another dot is added to
that line to stop premature message closing
(suggestion by David Irwin, thanks David).

version 1.32.4 August 2004
Minor bug fix.
Default mailer constructor does not set the authentication variables. This causes errors when not using authentication when using the default constructor.
stupid error on my part, sorry.

HTML formatted mail now possible via new functions:
setmessageHTML
setmessageHTML
setmessageHTMLfile

insert via file, string or vector.

added compatabilty code and moved most platform specifics from the mailer class
removed bugs (send/recv returns not checked correctly in old code)
removed errant MSG_DONTROUTE flags from network code. Fixes the case where
no network errors are encountered when not using a local nameserver.
added a sockaddr_in wrapper, life is easier for me now.
everything is in the jwsmtp namespace, need to do this now jwsmtp::mailer(...)
added default constructor
added second demo program, the shortest usage of the mailer class.

Incorporated suggestions by Ken Weinert to resolve SunOS issues.
INTERFACE unchanged.

message, recipients, servers etc..

bool setserver(const std::string& nameserver_or_smtpserver);

void reset(); // erase recipients, message, attachments, errors.... read more

version 1.17
TO: Cc: Bcc: mail recipient capability added

bool mailer::removeattachment(const std::string& filename);
changed functions
bool addrecipient(const std::string& newrecipient, short recipient_type = TO /*CC, BCC*/);
