    • SMTPMessage

      public SMTPMessage(Session session)
      Default constructor. An empty message object is created. The headers field is set to an empty InternetHeaders object. The flags field is set to an empty Flags object. The modified flag is set to true.
      Parameters:
      session - the Session
    • SMTPMessage

      public SMTPMessage(Session session, InputStream is) throws MessagingException
      Constructs an SMTPMessage by reading and parsing the data from the specified MIME InputStream. The InputStream will be left positioned at the end of the data for the message. Note that the input stream parse is done within this constructor itself.
      Parameters:
      session - Session object for this message
      is - the message input stream
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
    • SMTPMessage

      public SMTPMessage(MimeMessage source) throws MessagingException
      Constructs a new SMTPMessage with content initialized from the source MimeMessage. The new message is independent of the original.

      Note: The current implementation is rather inefficient, copying the data more times than strictly necessary.

      Parameters:
      source - the message to copy content from
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures

    • setAllow8bitMIME

      public void setAllow8bitMIME(boolean allow)

      If true, overrides the mail.smtp.allow8bitmime property.

      Parameters:
      allow - allow 8-bit flag
    • getAllow8bitMIME

      public boolean getAllow8bitMIME()
      Is use of the 8BITMIME extension is allowed?

    • setSendPartial

      public void setSendPartial(boolean partial)
      If set to true, and this message has some valid and some invalid addresses, send the message anyway, reporting the partial failure with a SendFailedException. If set to false (the default), the message is not sent to any of the recipients if there is an invalid recipient address.

      public String getMailExtension()

    • setMailExtension

      public void setMailExtension(String extension)
      Set the extension string to use with the MAIL command. The extension string can be used to specify standard SMTP service extensions as well as vendor-specific extensions. Typically the application should use the SMTPTransport method supportsExtension to verify that the server supports the desired service extension. See RFC 1869 and other RFCs that define specific extensions.

      For example:

       if (smtpTransport.supportsExtension("DELIVERBY"))
          smtpMsg.setMailExtension("BY=60;R");
       
      Parameters:
      extension - the extension string

      JavaMail 1.3.2
