26  /**
27   * SMTPClient encapsulates all the functionality necessary to send files through an SMTP server. This class takes care of all low level details of interacting
28   * with an SMTP server and provides a convenient higher level interface. As with all classes derived from {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient}, you must
29   * first connect to the server with {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient#connect connect } before doing anything, and finally
30   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient#disconnect disconnect } after you're completely finished interacting with the server. Then you need to check the
31   * SMTP reply code to see if the connection was successful. For example:
32   *
33   * <pre>
34   *    try {
35   *      int reply;
36   *      client.connect("mail.foobar.com");
37   *      System.out.print(client.getReplyString());
38   *
39   *      // After connection attempt, you should check the reply code to verify
40   *      // success.
41   *      reply = client.getReplyCode();
42   *
43   *      if (!SMTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
44   *        client.disconnect();
45   *        System.err.println("SMTP server refused connection.");
46   *        System.exit(1);
47   *      }
48   *
49   *      // Do useful stuff here.
50   *      ...
51   *    } catch (IOException e) {
52   *      if (client.isConnected()) {
53   *        try {
54   *          client.disconnect();
55   *        } catch (IOException f) {
56   *          // do nothing
57   *        }
58   *      }
59   *      System.err.println("Could not connect to server.");
60   *      e.printStackTrace();
61   *      System.exit(1);
62   *    }
63   * </pre>
64   * <p>
65   * Immediately after connecting is the only real time you need to check the reply code (because connect is of type void). The convention for all the SMTP
66   * command methods in SMTPClient is such that they either return a boolean value or some other value. The boolean methods return true on a successful completion
67   * reply from the SMTP server and false on a reply resulting in an error condition or failure. The methods returning a value other than boolean return a value
68   * containing the higher level data produced by the SMTP command, or null if a reply resulted in an error condition or failure. If you want to access the exact
69   * SMTP reply code causing a success or failure, you must call {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTP#getReplyCode getReplyCode } after a success or failure.
70   * </p>
71   * <p>
72   * You should keep in mind that the SMTP server may choose to prematurely close a connection for various reasons. The SMTPClient class will detect a premature
73   * SMTP server connection closing when it receives a {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTPReply#SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE SMTPReply.SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE }
74   * response to a command. When that occurs, the method encountering that reply will throw an {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTPConnectionClosedException} .
75   * <code>SMTPConnectionClosedException</code> is a subclass of <code>IOException</code> and therefore need not be caught separately, but if you are going to
76   * catch it separately, its catch block must appear before the more general <code>IOException</code> catch block. When you encounter an
77   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTPConnectionClosedException} , you must disconnect the connection with {@link #disconnect disconnect() } to properly
78   * clean up the system resources used by SMTPClient. Before disconnecting, you may check the last reply code and text with
79   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTP#getReplyCode getReplyCode }, {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTP#getReplyString getReplyString }, and
80   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTP#getReplyStrings getReplyStrings}.
81   * </p>
82   * <p>
83   * Rather than list it separately for each method, we mention here that every method communicating with the server and throwing an IOException can also throw a
84   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.MalformedServerReplyException} , which is a subclass of IOException. A MalformedServerReplyException will be thrown when the
85   * reply received from the server deviates enough from the protocol specification that it cannot be interpreted in a useful manner despite attempts to be as
86   * lenient as possible.
