wodSmtpServer ActiveX Control - ExpandAddress Event
 ExpandAddress Event
    
 

Description

Fires when user wants to expand an address or an alias


Syntax

Private Sub object_ExpandAddress(User, Address, Response)



The ExpandAddress Event syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object A wodSmtpServer object.
User A SmtpUser object. Request to the user who wants to get expanded form of an address.
Address A String value.

Email address or account name user is interested to.
Response A Variant value. Response you will send to the user.

Remarks

Some SMTP servers allow 'EXPN' command so that clients can determine additional information about some account name or email address. For example, client knows that your server have user 'joe', but doesn't really know who he is. For this purpose, they can connect to server and issue 'EXPN joe' command. If you are willing to provide information about account joe, you can set Response variable to Joe's name and email address, so they know in future what's real name for user Joe.

If you do want to provide such information, you can do it like this:

Private Sub wodSmtpServer1_ExpandAddress(ByVal User As WODSMTPSERVERCtl.ISmtpUser, ByVal Address As String, Response As Variant)
    Response = "Ozzie WeOnlyDo! <ozzie>"
End Sub

As you can see, all you need to send is one line that includes user's real name, and his email inside <> characters (this is by convention). However, if there are several users 'hiding' behind one email address (for instance, some sort of mailing list), you can provide more than one line of response information. In such cases, just divide them with CRLF sequence.
