Send Type options
DWebPro's SMTP Server functions in two modes (Server Type):
- Via SMTP
- Relay
If the SMTP Server is launched with the Via SMTP option, it will rely on an external SMTP server for sending email. If the SMTP Server is launched with the Relay option, it will rely on a DNS server for resolving the email receiver's domain names and then try to send the email directly to those servers, exactly like a classic SMTP server would.
Sending email can occur in three different modes (Send Type):
- Transparent
- On Timeout
- On Count Reached
If the Transparent option is used, DWebPro will attempt to transmit incoming email to the correct destination (the recipients).
If the On Timeout option is used, incoming email is queued and sent only on expiration of the previously set timeout.
If the On Count Reached option is used, incoming email is queued until reaching a previously set maximum number; only after that will the messages be sent.
The http.ini fields specific to the SMTP
Server section are shown below:
[SMTP] ; SMTP Server settings Start=1 DefaultSender=smtp@dwebpro.com Timeout=300000 ServerType=1 SendType=1 StorageDir=##TEMP##\dwebpro\smtp\spool SendOnShutdown=1 SendUnsentMessages=0 ; Network settings IP=127.0.0.1 Port=25 FindFreePort=1 ; Server Type settings ServerViaSMTP.Host=mail.libero.it ServerViaSMTP.Port=25 ServerRelay.DNSHost=151.99.125.2 ServerRelay.DNSPort=53 ServerRelay.DNSTimeout=6000 ; Send Type settings OnTimeoutServer.Timeout=5000 OnCountServer.Count=1 ; AntiVirus settings AntiVirusDaemon=##DWEBPRO_PATH##\engine\clamwin\bin\clamscan.exe AntiVirusParams=-d "##DWEBPRO_PATH##\engine\clamwin\db" -i --quiet --remove "%F"
Each of the fields within the ColdFusion section are detailed below.
SMTP Server settings
Start SMTP Server
Start
Start SMTP Server specifies whether the
SMTP Server will be started.
Accepted values: 0, 1
Default Sender
DefaultSender
Default Sender specifies the email address
used by the SMTP Server to send the email that does not have a sender's
email address specified.
Accepted values: string
Timeout (in sec)
Timeout
Timeout (in sec) specifies timeout interval,
in seconds, before DWebPro returns an error. This value is saved in
milliseconds, but is displayed in seconds. For example, a value of 300 in this field is saved as 300000 in
http.ini. Accepted values: integer

ServerType
Server Type specifies the SMTP Server's
working mode: Via SMTP or Relay. The Via Relay setting corresponds to a value
of 0 in
http.ini while the Relay setting corresponds to a value of 1 in http.ini. Accepted values: 0, 1
Send Type
SendType
Send Type specifies the email sending
mode: Transparent, On Timeout, or On Count Reached. The Transparent setting corresponds to a value of 0 in
http.ini; the On Timeout setting
corresponds to a value of 1 in http.ini; the On Count Reached setting corresponds
to a value of 2 in http.ini. Accepted values: 0, 1, 2
Storage Directory
StorageDir
Storage Directory specifies the path
to the folder for temporarily saving queued messages. Refer to the DWebPro Internal Constants topic for additional information
on paths.
Accepted values: string
Send on Shutdown
SendOnShutdown
Send on Shutdown specifies whether DWebPro
attempts to send email into the spool before shutting down.
Accepted values: 0, 1

searches for a free port on which to start the SMTP Server. Refer
to the DWebPro Internal Constants for more information.
Accepted values: 0, 1

Via SMTP: Port specifies the SMTP Server's
port to be used for sending messages. Note that this setting is used
only when the Server Type option is set to Via SMTP (0).
Accepted values: integer
