A proxy generation dynamic-link library (DLL) creates and validates recipient addresses
so that the remote mail system will accept and correctly deliver messages intended
for recipients in that system.
The following table lists the entry points that proxy generation DLLs must implement.
| Function | Action | When called |
|---|
| RcInitProxies Function | Initializes a new proxy address generation session. | Before recipient objects or address types are created. |
| RcGenerateProxy Function | Generates a user-level proxy address as a Unicode string. | When a recipient object is created, or when an address type is
installed or updated for all recipients. |
| RcValidateProxy Function | Validates that a proxy address string is a valid address in the remote
system. Also allowed to correct invalid addresses, if possible. | When a proxy address is edited manually. |
| RcUpdateProxy Function | Updates the site proxy portion of a proxy address. | When a proxy address is updated. |
| RcValidateSiteProxy Function | Validates that a site proxy address is a valid address in the
remote system. | When a site proxy address is edited manually. |
| FreeProxy Function | Frees memory allocated for a proxy address string. | When generation of proxy addresses is complete. |
| CloseProxies Function | Closes a proxy address generation session and frees any
associated memory. | When creation of a recipient object is complete. |
