GetRelayServerFromEmailAddress Method

Gets the host name of the domain willing to accept the mails for the specified e-mail address or an empty string if error occurred.

The developer can use the obtained name of SMTP server to send the message to the account on this server without any authentication.

[Visual Basic]

blnResult = ObjectName.GetRelayServerFromEmailAddress(EmailAddress,[DNSServer],[SingleAttemptOnly],[Timeout])


Parameters:
EmailAddress As String	The e-mail address.
DNSServer As String	(optional) The IP address of the DNS server. If this parameter is ommited, MailBee extracts it from Windows settings. Also, the developer can also specify two DNS servers to increase the reliability of DNS MX lookup operation. The semicolon (;) is used as a delimeter character. For instance, the "125.145.34.4" or "45.15.6;45.22.22.2" values are supported.
SingleAttemptOnly As String	(optional) If True, MailBee won't send request second time if the first one fails. Less reliable but faster. The default is False.
Timeout as Long	(optional) Number of seconds to wait for response from the DNS servers. The default value is 3.

Return valueAs String	The string containing the name of SMTP MX server. For instance, if the "brown@domain.com" address is specified, the "smtp.domain.com" value could be returned.

Usage example:

' This example creates a new message and sends it without any authentication

Dim Mailer

Mailer.LicenseKey = "Put your license key here"

' Specify the e-mail address of message sender
Mailer.FromAddr = "john@domain.com"

' Specify the e-mail address of message recipient
Mailer.ToAddr = "barbara@domain.com"

' Specify the subject of the message
Mailer.Subject = "Hi, Barbara."

' Specify the text of the message body
