Delphi Developer's Guide to XML |

Perform mass mail-outs using information from a database. XML provides the configuration parameters and the message template. Other standards allow database access (SQL) and e-mail functionality (SMTP), while a modular approach reduces ongoing maintenance. The Microsoft DOM provides the XML parsing abilities.
| MailTemplate.dpr | A console application that performs mass e-mailings based on XML configuration and message content | |
| MailTemplateConst.pas | Constants used throughout the application | |
| XMLConfig.pas | A generic unit for reading in an XML-based configuration file based on Microsoft's DOM | |
| MailTemplateLog.pas | Logging support for the application | |
| MailTemplateMessage.pas | Loading and processing of the e-mail message with substitutions from the database | |
| MailTemplateQuery.pas | Access to the mailing database | |
| MailTemplateSender.pas | Interface to a SMTP component | |
| MailTemplate.xml | The configuration file XML document | |
| MailMessage.xml | The mail message and database query XML document | |
| MailMessage.dtd | Its DTD | |
| Customer.db | The database table of e-mail recipients |
This project requires the MSXML v3 or v4 package from Microsoft.
This example requires a "mailtemp" BDE alias for the customer table.
