<h2>USAGE</h2>
<p>This method sends a message via SMTP. The application
should create a <span class="structname">mail::ACCOUNT</span>
object, and invoke <a class="link" href="account-login.html" title="mail::ACCOUNT::login" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::ACCOUNT::login</span>(3x)</span></a>
specifying a <code class="literal">smtp:</code>, <code class="literal">smtps:</code> or <code class="literal">sendmail:</code> <em class="parameter"><code>url</code></em>. The resulting <span class="structname">mail::ACCOUNT</span>'s <code class="function">send</code> method will be able to deliver the
<em class="parameter"><code>message</code></em>.</p>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>message</code></em>'s
<code class="function">getMessageContents</code> specifies
the contents of the message, which should be a valid,
MIME-formatted message. <code class="function">getMessageContents</code> does not have to return
the entire contents of the message at once. <code class="function">addMessage</code> calls <code class="function">getMessageContents</code> repeatedly. <code class="function">getMessageContents</code> should return the next
portion of the message with each call. <code class="function">getMessageContents</code> should return an empty
string, after providing the entire message contents are
provided. <code class="function">getMessageContents</code>
will be called repeatedly until it returns an empty
string.</p>
<div class="refsect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<a id="id576933" shape="rect" name="id576933"> </a>
<h3><em class="parameter"><code>saveFolder</code></em></h3>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>saveFolder</code></em>, if
not <code class="literal">NULL</code>, specifies that a
copy of the message should also be saved in this folder. If
this mail account uses the experimental <a class="link" href="smap1.html" title="Appendix A. Simple Mail Access Protocol, Version 1" shape="rect">SMAP</a> protocol, a single copy of the
message will be transmitted to the <code class="literal">SMAP</code> server, which will file the message
in the folder, and send it to the designated recipients.
Otherwise the message is manually saved to this folder
using <a class="link" href="folder-addmessage.html" title="mail::folder::addMessage" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::folder::addMessage</span>(3x)</span></a>,
or <a class="link" href="account-libmail-addmessage.html" title="mail::ACCOUNT::addMessage" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::ACCOUNT::addMessage</span>(3x)</span></a>.</p>

<h3>The <span class="structname">mail::smtpInfo</span>
object</h3>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>info</code></em> specifies
the following parameters which are used to deliver the
message:</p>
<pre class="programlisting" xml:space="preserve">
class mail::smtpInfo {
public:
std::string sender;
std::vector<std::string> recipients;
std::map<std::string, std::string> options;

</pre>
<p><em class="structfield"><code>sender</code></em>
specifies the sender's E-mail address, in the form of
"<em class="replaceable"><code>user</code></em>@<em class="replaceable"><code>domain</code></em>". <em class="structfield"><code>recipients</code></em> is a list of
recipients' E-mail addresses. At least one recipient must
be specified.</p>
<p><em class="structfield"><code>options</code></em>
specifies additional parameters for sending E-mail,
initialized as follows:</p>
<div class="variablelist">

<p>Request a delivery status notification. <em class="replaceable"><code>list</code></em> is a
comma-separated list of the following keywords:
"<code class="literal">never</code>" - do not request
any receipts, not even non-delivery notices;
"<code class="literal">success</code>" - request a
delivery confirmation receipt; "<code class="literal">fail</code>" - request a non-delivery
notice; "<code class="literal">delay</code>" -
request a delayed delivery notice.</p>

<p>Use the <code class="literal">VERP</code> mailing
list extension. If the <em class="structfield"><code>sender</code></em> address is
"<em class="replaceable"><code>sender</code></em>@<em class="replaceable"><code>senddomain</code></em>", then a

currently implemented only by the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.courier-mta.org" target="_top" shape="rect">Courier mail server</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">options.insert(make_pair("SECURITY",

<p>The message must be sent via TLS, and the
recipient's server must present a certificate signed
by a trusted, private, certificate authority. This
option is currently implemented only by the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.courier-mta.org" target="_top" shape="rect">Courier mail server</a>.</p>
