5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Macros

Macro: with-smtp-mail ((stream-var host envelope-sender to &key ssl port authentication local-hostname external-format) &body body)

Encapsulate a SMTP MAIl conversation. A connection to the SMTP server on HOST and PORT is established and a MAIL command is initiated with FROM being the mail sender and TO being the list of recipients. BODY is evaluated with STREAM-VAR being the stream connected to the remote SMTP server. BODY is expected to write the RFC2821 message (headers and body) to STREAM-VAR.

5.2.3 Ordinary functions

Function: base64-encode-file (file-in sock &key buffer-size wrap-at-column)

Encodes the file contents given by file-in, which can be of any form appropriate to with-open-file, and write the base-64 encoded version to sock, which is a socket.

Buffer-size is ignored

Wrap-at-column controls where the encode string is divided for line breaks,
it is always set to a multiple of 3.

Package

Source

attachments.lisp.

Function: finish-smtp-mail (stream)

Finish sending an email to the SMTP server connected to on STREAM. The server is expected to be inside of the DATA SMTP command. The connection is then terminated by sending a QUIT command.

Function: initiate-smtp-mail (stream envelope-sender to)

Initiate an SMTP MAIL command, sending a MAIL FROM command for the email address in FROM and RCPT commands for all receipients in TO, which is expected to be a list.

If any of the TO addresses is not accepted, a RCPT-FAILED condition is signalled. This condition may be handled by the caller in order to send the email anyway.

Function: smtp-authenticate (stream authentication features)

Authenticate to the SMTP server connected on STREAM.
AUTHENTICATION is a list of two or three elements. If the first element is a keyword, it specifies the desired authentication method (:PLAIN or :LOGIN), which is currently ignored. The actual method used is determined by looking at the advertised features of the SMTP server. The (other) two elements of the AUTHENTICATION list are the login username and password. FEATURES is the list of features announced by the SMTP server.

If the server does not announce any compatible authentication scheme, the NO-SUPPORTED-AUTHENTICATION-METHOD error is signalled.
