CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM3
Smtp sender address
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, char *from);
Overview
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. This should be used to specify the sender's email address when sending SMTP mail with libcurl.
An originator email address should be specified with angled brackets (<>) around it, which if not specified are added automatically.
If this parameter is not specified then an empty address is sent to the SMTP server which might cause the email to be rejected.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
Default
blank
Protocols
SMTP
Examples
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, "[email protected]");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
