I am trying to send an email using msmtp SMTP client in Linux from C++ code. Using below code I am able to send out an email successfully. If email is not successful, then error information shown on terminal as shown in below terminal image.
I want to know how can I read error message which is dumpped on terminal using C++ code on Linux?.
int sendmail(const char *to, const char *from, const char *subject, const char *message)
{
int retval = -1;
std::string command("/usr/bin/msmtp -t");
try{
FILE *mailpipe = popen(command.c_str(), "w");
if (mailpipe != NULL) {
fprintf(mailpipe, "To: %s\n", to);
fprintf(mailpipe, "From: %s\n", from);
fprintf(mailpipe, "Subject: %s\n\n", subject);
fwrite(message, 1, strlen(message), mailpipe);
fwrite(".\n", 1, 2, mailpipe);
retval = pclose(mailpipe); // returns 0 on successful mail sent. else greater than 0 will be given.
}
else {
perror("Couldn't start command. Make sure msmtp installed and configured properly");
}
}
catch(exception& e)
{
cout<<"Error: ";
}
return retval;
}
