SimpleSystemMail

HI PAOLO,

IN BARCELONA I ASKED YOU ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF USING
SIMPLESYSTEMMAIL  
UNO SERVICE TO BE ABLE TO SEND EMAIL FROM OPENOFFICE.ORG.
THE ONLY  
REFERENCE I GOT TO HOW IT WORKS IS THROUGH THE SNIPPET ON
ANDREW  
PITONYAK'S MACRO BOOK.

SUB SENDSIMPLEMAIL()
   DIM VMAILSYSTEM, VMAIL, VMESSAGE

  
VMAILSYSTEM=CREATEUNOSERVICE("COM.SUN.STAR.SYSTEM.SIMPL
ESYSTEMMAIL")
   VMAIL=VMAILSYSTEM.QUERYSIMPLEMAILCLIENT()
   'YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO WITH THIS, SEE
  
'HTTP://API.OPENOFFICE.ORG/DOCS/COMMON/REF/COM/SUN/STAR/SYST
EM/XSIMPLEMAILMESSAGE.HTML
   VMESSAGE=VMAIL.CREATESIMPLEMAILMESSAGE()
   VMESSAGE.SETRECIPIENT("ANDREW.PITONYAKQWEST.COM")
   VMESSAGE.SETSUBJECT("THIS IS MY TEST SUBJECT")

   'ATTACHEMENTS ARE SET BY A SEQUENCE WHICH IN BASIC MEANS
AN ARRAY
   'I COULD USE CONVERTTOURL() TO BUILD THE URL!
   DIM VATTACH(0)
   VATTACH(0) = "FILE:///C|/MACRO.TXT"
   VMESSAGE.SETATTACHEMENT(VATTACH())

   'DEFAULTS LAUNCH THE CURRENTLY CONFIGURED SYSTEM MAIL
CLIENT.
   'NO_USER_INTERFACE DO NOT SHOW THE INTERFACE, JUST DO
IT!
   'NO_LOGON_DIALOG NO LOGON DIALOG BUT WILL THROW AN
EXCEPTION IF ONE IS  
REQUIRED.
   VMAIL.SENDSIMPLEMAILMESSAGE(VMESSAGE,  
COM.SUN.STAR.SYSTEM.SIMPLEMAILCLIENTFLAGS.NO_USER_INTERFACE)

END SUB

HOWEVER I WANT TO KNOW IF I WOULD NEED A TRANSPORT ON MY
SYSTEM SO THE API  
IS ABLE TO SEND THE EMAIL.  THIS IS A SIMILAR DILEMA THAT I
FACE WITH  
PYTHON'S LIBSMTPD MODULE WHICH IS CAPABLE OF WORKING AS AN
SMTPD SERVER  
BUT THERE IS REALLY NOT MUCH REFERENCE ABOUT HOW TO RUN IT.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS THE USER BE ABLE TO SEND A
REGISTRATION  
EMAIL TO THE MAILING LIST FROM WITHIN OPENOFFICE.ORG. MAYBE
THIS COULD  
HELP.

The SimpleSystemMail service uses the system mail client to
send mails.
If you don't get one on your system you could try the
"com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail" service.
At least that's the
strategy the "Send document as mail" code in OOo
uses.

Mathias

Thanks mathias, I wonder if this is actually generated from
OOo or you  
mean the $mail command in Unix.  In other words is this
SimpleComandMail   
cross platform at all?

YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN MY SNIPPETCREATOR WIZARD
(MODULE DLGSNIPPET - 
SUB SNIPPETTOEMAIL )

REGARDING THE PROBLEM THAT YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR FOLLOW-UP
I'VE JUST SEEN THAT 
MATHIAS HAS ALREADLY ANSWERED.
I CAN ONLY ADD THAT IN THE SNIPPETCREATOR WIZARD I'VE USED
THE FOLLOWING 
STRATEGY:

--------------------------------
....
'TRY TO OBTAIN A MAIL SERVICE
OMAILSERVICE =
CREATEUNOSERVICE("COM.SUN.STAR.SYSTEM.SIMPLESYSTEMMAIL&
quot;)

IF ISNULL(OMAILSERVICE) THEN
	OMAILSERVICE =
CREATEUNOSERVICE("COM.SUN.STAR.SYSTEM.SIMPLECOMMANDMAIL
")
END IF

IF ISNULL(OMAILSERVICE) THEN
	GOTO ERRH
END IF
....

I DON'T CATCH THIS POINT (BUT I MUST SAY THAT I'M NOT VERY
ACQUAINTED WITH 
NETWORK THINGS):

EVEN IF YOU RUN AN SMTPD SERVER FROM PYTHON, THE API RELIES
ON AN EXTERNAL 
MAIL CLIENT PROGRAM FOR SENDING EMAILS, THEREFORE, THE
EXTERNAL MAIL CLIENT 
SHOULD BE PREVIOUSLY CONFIGURED FOR USING YOUR LOCAL SMTP
SERVER.
SO I DON'T SEE ANY ADVANTAGES.

Sorry, I don't know the internal details. What I can say is
how we do it
in the framework code: first ask for the SimpleSystemMail
service and if
you don't get one ask for the SimpleCommandMail service.
This should
work on all OOo installations where "Send document as
mail" works.

Mathias

That's what I suggested, put into Basic source code.

True, actually I didn't add any useful information, I should
have read your 
post more carefully

I guess that the function doesn't really do what I was
expecting. I have a  
different question now. I want to send an email from
OpenOffice.org. Now I  
am looking into another service in UNO which might do
something similar  
which is sending emails from UNO.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/comm
on/ref/com/sun/star/mail/XSmtpService.html

SmtpService is another service I am now looking into to be
able to send an  
email from OOo. Anyone have an input on this service?

In python I have something similar by using the module
smtplib which looks  
quite similar:

http://pastebin.mo
zilla.org/219060

The smtpservice also includes a sendmail() method labeled: 

sendMailMessage() and MailServer(). Just need to clear this
services and  
their function.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/comm
on/ref/com/sun/star/mail/XSmtpService.html
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/commo
n/ref/com/sun/star/mail/XMailServer.html

a somewhat different question, is it possible to call a
python script from  
Basic?
I am looking into the command:
URL:service:es.openoffice.org.pyMail.SendEmail?execute

No, this is not a service, this is an interface (it starts
with an "X").

This service is used for the MailMerge functionality in OOo.
It is
implemented in Python. From what I can see in the
implementation in
Writer it is much harder to use and perhaps not usable in
Basic as it
seems to require that an object is passed to the service
that must be
implemented by the client software. But admittedly I concur
that from a
first glance.

But why is Simple(System|Command)Mail not enough for you?
Using it will
create much less overhead and much less chances to stumble
over bugs and
errors.

Ciao,
Mathias
