Description

The MAILTO element is used for sending e-mails using a POP3/SMTP email account.


Syntax

<#MAILTO>

  <#TOCARBONCOPY> CCAddresses <#/TOCARBONCOPY>
  <#TOBLINDCCOPY> BCCAddresses <#/TOBLINDCCOPY>
  <#SUBJECT> asubject <#/SUBJECT>
  <#BODY>
    Body of the message.
  <#/BODY>
<#/MAILTO>


TOADDRESS Specify in addresses all the recipients emails separated by a colon to which the mail will be sent.
TOCARBONCOPY Specify in CCaddresses all the recipients emails separated by a colon to which a copy the mail will be sent.
TOBLINDCCOPY Specify in BCCaddresses all the recipients emails separated by a colon to which a blind copy the mail will be sent.
SUBJECT Specify inside the subject tag the subject of the e-mail.
BODY Specify inside the body tag the body of the message.


Note: You can use inside of these delimiters any other DBSP element (like datasets, ifs, etc). This give you the flexibility of create almost any kind of personalized e-mails based on your database data.


Note: By the moment, email attachments are not supported.


Email Account Configuration

Before you can use the MAILTO element, you must configure the account settings using the DBSP Configuration tool. Here you must indicate this information: Mail Server, POP3 Port, SMTP port, username and password. You could obtain this information from your ISP or network administrator.


Applications

Use the MAILTO element to send an email as a notification of certain actions that your users perform in your site (like registering or changing your information or placing an order).
