emailQ.NET - Anatomy of an Eml File

Instead of sending the message immediately, Smtp.NET creates a file with a ".eml" file extension. Eml files contain configuration name/value pairs that are recognized by Microsoft IIS Smtp Server and emailQ.NET:

When Smtp.NET processes an Eml file, it reads the file and determines how the message should be sent:
  1. X-ServerAddress: The name(s) of the SMTP mail server to send the message through.
  2. X-SendToPickupDirectory: Specifies whether to send to the pickup directory. Valid values are "True" and "False"
  3. X-PickupDirectory: (not shown) If X-SendToPickupDirectory is "True", specifies the location of the Pickup Directory. This value overrides the value stored in the system registry, which is configured in Smtp.NET Manager.
  4. X-AuthLogin: Specifies the Authentication Login id to use when sending the message. NOTE: if using Microsoft IIS Smtp Server, this value is ignored.
  5. X-AuthPassword: Specifies the Authentication Login password to use when sending the message. NOTE: if using Microsoft IIS Smtp Server, this value is ignored.
  6. X-Sender: Specifies the sending email address. There is only one X-Sender specified per Eml file
  7. X-Receiver: Specifies an email address to send the message to. There can be multiple X-Receivers.
  8. X-Stop: Informs emailQ.NET to stop reading the file.
Eml files can be modified or created manually by specifying the above configuration name/value pairs. Omitting or incorrectly specifying configuration name/value will cause emailQ.NET to be unable to deliver the message. If messages cannot be delivered, they are moved to the "Undeliverable" folder.
