Check email addresses
With this feature you can validate all email addresses. If an address is not valid any more it
can be deleted. SuperMailer uses syntax checking and/or DNS lookup (convert hostname to IP
address). It checks all MX entries (Mail Exchange) for this entry, to get the valid email server
and validates the email addresses.
validate how-to
1.
Select recipients via email recipients within the SuperMailer main window. Now click on
"Check email addresses" under menu Project.
2.
Select "Only syntax checking" to check the syntax of email addresses.
3.
Select "Syntax checking, check the server is reachable and email address exists on
server" if you want to check the syntax of the email address and after then connect to
the email server of recipient to verify the email address.
4.
Not for syntax checking: Insert your DNS server, so SuperMailer can check his
MX-entries.
SuperMailer tries to find out a default DNS server of your system configuration. Only if
this fails you have to insert a DNS server name by hand.
If you use any kind of dial in connection, first of all connect to your provider and then
start email address check, because only with an active internet connection SuperMailer
can automatically detect your DNS server.
5.
Not for syntax checking: Define the number of threads (parallel channels), you can use
maximal 100 threads. Please note that a high number of threads results in a high
system load. On systems running Windows 9x/ME more than 16 threads can cause
system crash's.
6.
Click on "Check now" to start this procedure.
7.
After validation has finished, you get a list of all addresses, every address with a
negative validation is marked. You can mark further email addresses by hand. Click on
"Delete selected emails", to delete all marked email addresses from you list of
recipients.
Problems during validation
If the mail server of a recipient is temporarily not available, then this email address
gets a negative validation.
If MX entries are not defined correctly on an mail server, all emails registered to this
server will be marked as not valid. At the same time this user can not receive any
emails.
Some Provider doesn't support this validation, in this case you will get an error
messages "Relaying denied" and it is not possible to determine if this email address is
correct or not. Otherwise some provider completely ignores such request and defines
every given email address as correct or incorrect.
You can only validate email addresses from other providers than your own. for example
if you use T-online or 1&1, then all T-online or 1&1 addresses can not be validated.

Use SuperMailer in your applications
This section is only for software developer, which are interested in including SuperMailer in
their own applications, to handle email communication.
One possibility to control SuperMailer in your application is through an ini file. All commands in
this file will be used as command line parameter. An default ini file can be found in your
SuperMailer directory as _AUTOCFG.ini.
Execute SuperMailer with a ini file
Execute SuperMailer with parameter /AUTOCFGFILE:<directory and ini filename>,
i.e.. c:\program files\supermailer\sm.exe /AUTOCFGFILE:c:\ainifile.ini
hint: contains a directory or a file name of your ini file blanks so enclose them in quotation
marks,
example: c:\program files\supermailer\sm.exe /AUTOCFGFILE:"c:\template for an
email\myfile.ini"
You can start SuperMailer via ShellExecute(params), CreateProcess(params) or
WinExec(params), all parameters have to be correct.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Mirko Boeer Software\SuperMailer\Options . The name of executable file

Check if SuperMailer is up and running
SuperMailer should be only started once a time. To check SuperMailer is running you can
check the mutex SuperMailer32 are exists.
Example in Delphi 7
Var
hnd : THandle;
hnd := CreateMutex(nil, True, 'SuperMailer32');
If (GetLastError = ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS) Then
// SuperMailer is running
else
CloseHandle(hnd); // SuperMailer doesn't run, free handle
