All I want to do is to have a tool (not an app, a tool) which is
able to reliably send mail to an arbitrary address from one of a
set of addresses, given the following conditions:
[i] the tool is definitely not running on a system with an MTA, so
needs an SMTP client (such as NSMailDelivery)
[ii] the tool may not be running as a 'real' user; examples include
root, appserver etc.
[iii] the remote MTA permits relaying from any of the set of from
addresses, and to any address (probably not UUCP ones...), from any
of the hosts which the tool might be invoked on
[iv] the from address may not be the real from address of the
invoking user
given these requirements, Message.framework seems minimally complex
in terms of API requirements, it's just that I can't see whether it
is possible to use it in a situation where conditions [i]-[iv] are
true. Currently I think not.
Just for comparison (I don't think I can use it in all of the
scenarios I envisage wanting to send mails from, though I might be
tempted to revisit that opinion), WebObjects' WOMailDelivery class
*does* do everything I [currently think I] might need. You can
programatically set an SMTP server for instance, so the program
doesn't need to be run by someone who has Mail set up properly
(because a WOA rarely will be). What I suppose I'm looking for is
Objective-C's closest answer to WOMailDelivery.
Cheers,
Graham.
