Events

  • MailSizeExceeded: When the mail server indicates the combined size of all attachments is too large to be send, this exit is taken so that you can give a clear indication to the end user. If the max size is exceeded and this exit event is not mapped, an error is thrown.
Tip

When specifying email address values in the parameters above, expression statements are to be used.

For a simple hard coded email address, an expression containing a constant value suffices:

Code Block
"romeo@example.org"

The parameters addresses-to-expr, addresses-cc-expr or addresses-bcc-expr can deal with a list of values. In that case, the expression should reflect this:

Code Block
["romeo@example.org", "juliet@example.com"]

Using the expression, addresses can be retrieved:

Code Block
COLLECT person.mailaddress FROM ALL person WHERE (person.mailaddress != ?)

The AQ_MailService supports adding phrases to mail addresses (where the 'phrase' typically is a for humans readable identifier of the mail address. The format for an email address using a phrase is: Romeo <romeo@example.org>

Typically, phrases can be surrounded by the double-quote character ("). Within Blueriq, this character signifies the beginning or end of an expression. To prevent problems, the AQ_MailService accepts unquoted phrases (before submitting a message to an email server, the AQ_MailService makes sure that all phrases are properly formatted). As a result, each of these examples are valid mail address definitions within the AQ_MailService:

Code Block
"Romeo <romeo@example.org>"
"Romeo Capulet <romeo@example.org>"
"Capulet, R. <romeo@example.org>"
["Romeo <romeo@example.org>", "Juliet <juliet@example.com>"]
["Romeo Capulet <romeo@example.org>", "Juliet Montague <juliet@example.com>"]
["Capulet, R. <romeo@example.org>", "Montague, J. <juliet@example.com>"]

Default mail connection properties

When a AQ_MailService connection name is not defined in the properties, the runtime will fall back on the defined default property. The default properties can be defined as shown in the following example. When a specific property for an AQ_MailService is not defined, it will fall back on the default properties. If no default properties are set, it will fall back on the Encore parameters.
