<p> The <tt>smtp</tt> namespace provides functionality to send e-mail
|
|
|
|
|
messages. The high-level API consists of two functions: one to
|
|
|
|
|
define an e-mail message, and another to actually send the message.
|
|
|
|
|
Although almost all users will find that these functions provide more than
|
|
|
|
|
enough functionality, the underlying implementation allows for even more
|
|
|
|
|
control (if you bother to read the code).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The implementation conforms to the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol,

Multipart messages (those that contain attachments) are part

2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00

of the MIME standard, but described mainly

in representing them in a Lua table.

Sends a message to a recipient list. Since sending messages is not as
|
|
|
|
|
simple as downloading an URL from a FTP or HTTP server, this function
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't have a simple interface. However, see the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href=#message><tt>message</tt></a> source factory for
|
|
|
|
|
a very powerful way to define the message contents.

<tt>Rcpt</tt> is a Lua table with one entry for each recipient e-mail

Note: SMTP servers can be very picky with the format of e-mail
|
2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00
|
|
|
addresses. To be safe, use only addresses of the form
|
2004-06-21 00:19:54 +02:00
|
|
|
"<tt><fulano@example.com></tt>" in the <tt>from</tt> and
|
2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00
|
|
|
<tt>rcpt</tt> arguments to the <tt>send</tt> function. In headers, e-mail
|
|
|
|
|
addresses can take whatever form you like. </p>

<p class=note>
|
|
|
|
|
Big note: There is a good deal of misconception with the use of the
|
|
|
|
|
destination address field headers, i.e., the '<tt>To</tt>', '<tt>Cc</tt>',
|
|
|
|
|
and, more importantly, the '<tt>Bcc</tt>' headers. Do <em>not</em> add a
|
|
|
|
|
'<tt>Bcc</tt>' header to your messages because it will probably do the
|
|
|
|
|
exact opposite of what you expect.

Only recipients specified in the <tt>rcpt</tt> list will receive a copy of the
|
2003-08-31 03:00:15 +02:00
|
|
|
message. Each recipient of an SMTP mail message receives a copy of the
|
2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00
|
|
|
message body along with the headers, and nothing more. The headers
|
2004-06-16 22:41:03 +02:00
|
|
|
<em>are</em> part of the message and should be produced by the
|
|
|
|
|

|
2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00

<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/rfc/rfc2822.txt">RFC 2822</a>

|
|

has two <em>important and short</em> sections, "3.6.3. Destination address
|
|
|

fields" and "5. Security considerations", explaining the proper
|
|

use of these headers. Here is a summary of what it says:

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|

<li> <tt>To</tt>: contains the address(es) of the primary recipient(s)
|
|
|
|
|
of the message;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>Cc</tt>: (where the "Cc" means "Carbon Copy" in the sense of
|
|
|
|
|
making a copy on a typewriter using carbon paper) contains the
|
|
|
|
|
addresses of others who are to receive the message, though the
|
|
|
|
|
content of the message may not be directed at them;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>Bcc</tt>: (where the "Bcc" means "Blind Carbon
|
|
|
|
|
Copy") contains addresses of recipients of the message whose addresses are not to be revealed to other recipients of the message.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
2004-06-15 08:24:00 +02:00
|
|
|
The LuaSocket <tt>send</tt> function does not care or interpret the
|
|
|
|
|
headers you send, but it gives you full control over what is sent and
|
|
|
|
|
to whom it is sent:
|
2003-08-31 03:00:15 +02:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> If someone is to receive the message, the e-mail address <em>has</em>
|
|
|
|
|
to be in the recipient list. This is the only parameter that controls who
|
|
|
|
|
gets a copy of the message;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> If there are multiple recipients, none of them will automatically
|
|
|
|
|
know that someone else got that message. That is, the default behavior is
|
|
|
|
|
similar to the <tt>Bcc</tt> field of popular e-mail clients;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> It is up to you to add the <tt>To</tt> header with the list of primary
|
|
|
|
|
recipients so that other recipients can see it;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> It is also up to you to add the <tt>Cc</tt> header with the
|
|
|
|
|
list of additional recipients so that everyone else sees it;
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Adding a header <tt>Bcc</tt> is nonsense, unless it is
|
|
|
|
|
empty. Otherwise, everyone receiving the message will see it and that is
|
|
|
|
|
exactly what you <em>don't</em> want to happen!

For a simple message, all that is needed is a set of <tt>headers</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and the <tt>body</tt>. The message <tt>body</tt> can be given as a string
|
2004-06-16 22:41:03 +02:00
|
|
|
or as a <em>simple</em>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks">LTN12</a>
|
|
|
|
|
source. For multipart messages, the body is a table that
|
|
|
|
|
recursively defines each part as an independent message, plus an optional
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>preamble</tt> and <tt>epilogue</tt>.

The function returns a <em>simple</em>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks">LTN12</a>
|
|
|
|
|
source that produces the
|
|
|
|
|
message contents as defined by <tt>mesgt</tt>, chunk by chunk.

|
Hopefully, the following
|
2004-06-16 03:02:14 +02:00
|
|
|
example will make things clear. When in doubt, refer to the appropriate RFC

as listed in the introduction. </p>
