package org.apache.commons.net.smtp;

import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Vector;

A class used to represent forward and reverse relay paths. The SMTP MAIL command requires a reverse relay path while the SMTP RCPT command requires a forward relay path. See RFC 821 for more details. In general, you will not have to deal with relay paths.

public final class RelayPath { Vector<String> _path; String _emailAddress;
Create a relay path with the specified email address as the ultimate destination.

Params:
  • emailAddress – The destination email address.
/*** * Create a relay path with the specified email address as the ultimate * destination. * <p> * @param emailAddress The destination email address. ***/
public RelayPath(String emailAddress) { _path = new Vector<String>(); _emailAddress = emailAddress; }
Add a mail relay host to the relay path. Hosts are added left to right. For example, the following will create the path < @bar.com,@foo.com:foobar@foo.com >
path = new RelayPath("foobar@foo.com");
path.addRelay("bar.com");
path.addRelay("foo.com");

Params:
  • hostname – The host to add to the relay path.

public void addRelay(String hostname) { _path.addElement(hostname); }
Return the properly formatted string representation of the relay path.

Returns:The properly formatted string representation of the relay path.
