CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT_ALLOWFAILS(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT_ALLOWFAILS - allow RCPT TO command to fail for some
recipients

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT_ALLOWFAILS,
long allow);

DESCRIPTION

If allow is set to 1L, allow RCPT TO command to fail for some
recipients.

When sending data to multiple recipients, by default curl aborts the
SMTP conversation if either one of the recipients causes the RCPT TO
command to return an error.

The default behavior can be changed by setting allow to 1L which
makes libcurl ignore errors for individual recipients and proceed
with the remaining accepted recipients.

If all recipients trigger RCPT TO failures and this flag is
specified, curl aborts the SMTP conversation and returns the error
received from to the last RCPT TO command.

DEFAULT

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects smtp only

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
struct curl_slist *list;
CURLcode res;

/* Adding one valid and one invalid email address */
list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "person@example.com");
list = curl_slist_append(list, "invalidemailaddress");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT_ALLOWFAILS, 1L);

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_slist_free_all(list);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
