Hello, i'm using the new SMTPClient and it's working good but i've noticed a strange behaviour when i look at the sent email

Even if I add only one recipient and only one attachment to the message, the recipient always gets multiple sender references and multiple attachments repeated more than once.
I've tried to reset the mime message but nothing changed.
The Message.AddRecipient always returns an index value of 3 but i'm setting only one recipient to the message.

Another issue i've experiencing is that if i use the "AddBcc" function the send returns always -7. if i use "AddCc" it works, but again it returns always an index of 3 even if i add only one.

I'm using PB 2022 R2 (build 2819) with the latest PB Hotfix.

Any ideas?
TIA,
simone

Example:

    SMTPClient lnv_SmtpClient
   lnv_SmtpClient = CREATE SMTPClient

   //set the email account information
   lnv_SmtpClient.Host = 'xxxx'
   lnv_SmtpClient.Port = 587
   lnv_SmtpClient.Username = 'xxx'
   lnv_SmtpClient.password = 'xxxx'
    lnv_SmtpClient.EnableTLS = True

   //set the email message
   lnv_SmtpClient.message.reset( 0 )
   lnv_SmtpClient.Message.SetSender(vLS_from, vLS_fromname)
   lnv_SmtpClient.Message.encoding = 'windows-1252'

   For vLI_idx = 1 To upperbound(vLS_toemail)
       lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddRecipient(vLS_toemail[vLI_idx], vLS_toname[vLI_idx])
   Next

   For vLI_idx = 1 To upperbound(vLS_ccemail)
        lnv_SmtpClient.Message.addcc(vLS_ccemail[vLI_idx], vLS_ccname[vLI_idx])
   Next

   For vLI_idx = 1 To upperbound(vLS_bccemail)
        lnv_SmtpClient.Message.addbcc(vLS_bccemail[vLI_idx], vLS_bccname[vLI_idx])
   Next

   // build attachment list
   vLI_max = upperbound(vLS_attachment)
   For vLI_idx = 1 To vLI_max
       vLS_filename =vLS_attachment[vLI_idx]
        lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddAttachment(vLS_filename)
   Next

   lnv_SmtpClient.Message.Subject = ls_subject
    lnv_SmtpClient.Message.TextBody = ls_body
    lnv_SmtpClient.message.Priority = 0

   lnv_SmtpClient.Timeout = 10
   lnv_SmtpClient.LogFile(ls_logfile, false)

   //send the email message
   li_rc = lnv_SmtpClient.Send()

   IF li_rc = 1 THEN
       MessageBox("SMTPClient", "EMail Inviata Correttamente.")
   ELSE
       choose case li_rc
           case -1
               ls_errmsg = "A general error occurred."

Hi Simone,

I did not reproduce the return value problems of the three functions of Addrecipient, AddCc, and AddBcc that you reported. See if you can reboot the machine or try another machine to see if it works.

About the problem of the AddBcc function causing the send function to return -7, this is a Bug and we will fix it.
The current workaround is to use the AddBcc function without specifying the name argument, for example:
Change:
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddBcc("tester@test.net","test")
To:
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddBcc("tester@test.net")

Regards,
Ken

Hi.

I did the following test. I placed on a window a button with following code:

integer li_i
smtpclient lnv_smtpclient

try 
	lnv_smtpclient = create smtpclient
	
	lnv_smtpclient.host = "smtp.test.com"
	lnv_smtpclient.port = 25
	lnv_smtpclient.enabletls = true
	lnv_smtpclient.username = "test@test.com"
	lnv_smtpclient.password = "test123test"
	
	lnv_smtpclient.message.setsender("Me@test.gr", "Me")
	lnv_smtpclient.message.addrecipient("You@test.gr", "You")
	
	for li_i = 1 to 5
		messagebox("", lnv_smtpclient.message.addcc("cctest" + string(li_i) + "@test.gr", "CC Test" + string(li_i)))
	next
	
	for li_i = 1 to 3
		messagebox("", lnv_smtpclient.message.addbcc("bcctest" + string(li_i) + "@test.gr", "BCC Test" + string(li_i)))
	next
	
	lnv_smtpclient.message.reset(0)
	
	lnv_smtpclient.message.subject = "PB Test Mail."
	lnv_smtpclient.message.textbody = "This is a test email from PowerBuilder."
	
catch (throwable exc1)
	messagebox("", exc1.text)
finally
	if isvalid(lnv_smtpclient) then destroy lnv_smtpclient
end try

For me, the messagebox shows 1-5 for each addcc command I execute and 1-3 for each addbcc. This happens whenever I press the commandbutton. So I don't see the problem you have with addcc and addbcc result.

I do have a pb 2022 r2 hotfix installed in my computer, but I'm not sure if it's the same you do have. Date and size for pbvm.dll (which is one of many files included in the hotfix I applied) are: 05 September 2023 and 9.072.336 Bytes.

I don't send the email. I'm just testing how the information is added to mimemessage object.

Andreas.

Hi Andreas, in my environment i've replaced the "for" with a "do while" and now the return indexes of addrecipient, addcc and addattachment are fine.

Honestly i'm not sure why, anyway the first issue is now solved. The AddBcc issue persists but i get the error only when i send the email. The send function always returns -7 if it finds a bcc recipient. The cc working fine

Hi.

What does lnv_SmtpClient.message.reset(0) returns?

Your arrays are ok? Is there any chance this issue comes from an array that for some reason have duplicate values?

Could it be something relating to the latest PowerBuilder_Hotfix?

(Bug ID: 10785) SMTPClient always requires username and password.

'Cos i'm quite sure it was working fine before...

Update:

the strangest part is that if I replace the "for" with a "do while" everything working fine using the same arrays..

However, the AddBcc problem remains
