Send mail to multiple recipients

[RvH]

I have not been succesful in sending mails to multiple recipients using a field containing a comma separated list. I tried modifying the script by adding .parse(to, true) to InternetAddress in msg.setRecipient, but to no avail. Any help/hints would be much appreciated.

Have you considered placing a send-single command within a loop which get the next email address from a list held in a variable?

Yes, I did. This is actually my present work-around, but it does mean that a recipient cannot rapidly tell from the email distribution whether others have been addressed too. (In my work-around this information therefore is added to the email subject line, but it looks a bit messy.)

I just thought that Scriptmaster was advertised as providing support for multiple recipients (which I presumed to be using a comma separated list), but unfortunately I cannot get it going with the standard Scriptmaster calls.

you have to pass an array of InternetAddresses, not a comma separated list.

InternetAddress[] myList=//create the list....

message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,myList);

That was a good hint. Much obliged.

As I am using a FM field with a list as the addressees, the coding needed to be a bit more elaborate:

String mailAddressTo=(to);

String[] ToAddresses = mailAddressTo.split("n") ;

InternetAddress[] mailAddress_TO = new InternetAddress [ToAddresses.length] ;

for (int j=0; j

mailAddress_TO[j] = new InternetAddress(ToAddresses[j]);

}

msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, mailAddress_TO);
