Relays (sends without any modifications) the mail message previously saved as an .EML file, to the specified recipients.

Parameters

filename

The path to the file containing the message source in .EML (RFC2822) format.

senderEmail

The e-mail address of the sender.

recipientEmails

The comma-delimited list of the message recipients.

Return Value

true if relay succeeded; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method reads the message raw data from a file and then sends the message intact. Sender and recipients specified in the message itself (such as From: and To: fields) are ignored.

To save a message into an .EML file, SaveMessage method of MailMessage object can be used.

Note   If Connect method was not called prior to RelayFromEmlFile, MailBee will call it automatically, or send the message in direct send mode (through DNS MX lookup) if no SMTP relay server is specified in SmtpServers collection or its Priority is lower than top priority of DNS servers available in DnsServers collection.

Exceptions

Example

This sample relays the mail message from .EML file to 3 recipients by submitting the message to the SMTP relay server. MessageRecipientSubmitted event is used to report which recipients have been accepted or refused.
