<div class="refsect1title">Description</div>
<p>Virtuoso can act as an SMTP client. This means that Virtuoso is able to send emails directly
to a mail SMTP server. Virtuoso has a simple function to facilitate this. This can be called from
stored procedures, VSP pages, triggers etc.
</p>
<p>
The sender and recipient email addresses must be enclosed with <..> and separated by commas
i.e. string '<support@openlinksw.co.uk>,<sales@openlinksw.co.uk>'
</p>
<p>
The message Body contains headers such as Subject, From, To, Cc, Bcc and then continues with
the actual message text itself. New lines can be added using '\r\n'
</p>
<a name="examples_smtp_send" />
<div class="example">
<div class="exampletitle">Example:</div>
<div>
<pre class="programlisting">
'Subject: subject message\r\nFrom: sender\r\nTo: recipient\r\nCc:
copy\r\nBcc: copy\n\n body of message'
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Virtuoso will pick up Subject and other headers from the body content. Note
that the RFC insists there should be a NULL line between body headers and the
message body text.
</p>
</div>
<a name="examples_smtp_send" />
<div class="example">
<div class="exampletitle">Example:</div>
<div>
<pre class="programlisting">
smtp_send(
'mail.example.com:25',
'<sender@example.com>',
'<receiver@example.com>',
concat(
'X-Mailer: Virtuoso Universal Server\r\n',
'Date: ', soap_print_box (now (), '', 1), '\r\n',
'Message-ID: <', regexp_replace(cast(now() as varchar), '[- :.]', '', 1, null), '#some.vsp@example.com>\r\n',
'Subject: This is a test mail...\r\n',
'From: <sender@example.com>\r\n',
'To: <receiver@example.com>\r\n',
'\n',
'Hi Receiver, this is a test message from Virtuoso')
);
</pre>
</div>
<p>
A more involved example. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure
that the message is correctly formed, complete with all necessary headers. This
example shows a complete use of the function.
