I have created a sample iphone application , that sends an email to a particular user.The user address should be static.I am using MFMailComposer class to send an email from iphone.Its work fine.
Now i want to send email to user without presenting MFMailComposerView.Can we programmatically presses the MFMailComposer send button ?.So it will automatically sends an email.
Is this possible? If means how can i programmatically invoke the send button?
Plz help me?
Thanks in advance.....
Even if you could do this, it would very probably be thrown out of the app store or denied submission. For security reasons the user should ALWAYS be able to see email they are sending.
If you want to send data without the user seeing it, transmit the information to a server.
As others have already said, doing this is a very bad idea. This is technically possible though, see the e-mail section of Stealth Messenger.

Here In My app, There is a case where User registering a form
He will give his mail id in one textfield. After Complete the form I need to send a mail to User for conformation of his registering.
Any one can help me please.
Thanks In Advance
I don't think its the right way to send email from the phone to the user's email id. You need to process the form at a remote server and it should send the confirmation email which most of the phone apps with user registration do. If you are going to save the user data locally, there will be several problems and the top problem would be rejection of the app from apple.
actually its pretty simple, you just have to connect to mail server and send commands

One part of my app sends an e-mail with an attachment. I'm using the MFMailComposeViewController class, and all is well.
I just would like to know if I can send a stealth BCC message to myself, just for statistics purposes to keep track of how many messages have been sent.
Thank you!
UPDATE: the user tc didn't understand what I was trying to accomplish. I DON'T WANT TO INVADE USER'S PRIVACY. I just need to keep track of EVENTS ON MY APP. I didn't make myself clear on what I needed.
How about the setBccRecipients: method on your instance of MFMailComposeViewController?
Depending on the content of the e-mail message being composed, you might want to re-think sending a Bcc to yourself, unbeknownst to your users... Just sayin'...
You can track if an email was sent successfully without sending yourself a bcc of the message. Check the didFinishWithResult delegate method.
I need to customize the default message composer as at To: I need to diplay the recipient number and body contains an automatic message.Can it possible to send this message without user interaction as he need not to be tap on to the send button.
Thanks to all,
Monish.
The documentation for MFMessageComposeViewController shows that you can programmatically set the body and the recipients of a text message. It does not, however, expose an API to send the message automatically. The framework requires user interaction.
It would be a terrible thing if an app could send a text message without user intervention. If that were possible, then apps could fire off as many text messages as they wanted, to whomever they wanted, all while charges are getting applied to the user's cell phone bill. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
So in a nutshell, you can pre-fill in some stuff, but the user will still have to tap the "Send" button.
No. You may add recipients and put what you like in the body of the message, but the user will always see the message and will be able to modify it. The user has to choose to send it.
If you need to do this automatically, you'll need to implement enough of SMTP to be able to send messages on your own, without the help of the mail framework.
In my app I need to send the email to the mail id provided by the user with predefined content.
This has to be done internally without the interaction of the user i.e, as soon as user enters email id in the provided textfield and clicks send button, the mail with content has to sent to that mail-id.
Can this be done without using any webservice. Please help me out in this.
Thanks in advance,

I have achieved this with SMKSMTPMessage - a library that allows you to send an email with attachments if required from code, without any user interaction required
I am creating an application that sends and SMS while taping on a button. To implement this functionality I installed the iPhone SDK 4. Since it supports in app SMS. But when I tap on my button to send SMS the MessageUI view controller is displayed along with my custom SMS body. I dont want to display this screen, I just need to send the SMS in the background with out displaying the SMS screen to the User.
Can any one help me in solving this.? Please help needed.
Thanks and Regards,

I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this. Apple wants the user to confirm an SMS send for at least a couple of reasons:
SMS costs the user money to send
If your app could send without confirmation, you could spam contacts from the user's address book, or worse, give them a link to a phishing site that they trust because the text came from a trusted source
Why do you care if the user confirms the SMS or not? As soon as they tap "Send", the MessageUI view controller is dismissed and the user is back in your app's screen.
The only alternative I can think if is to send an NSHTTPURLRequest to a web service that provides an SMS gateway. That you could certainly do in the background, though likely you (the developer, not the user) would incur the cost of sending the messages, and the sender would not appear to be the user.
According to the official Class Reference provided by Apple, the composing message will always come up so that the user can confirm the message.
No, you cannot do that. There is a reason for that MessageUI controller showing - it's to confirm with the user that indeed the SMS is sent with her knowledge and understanding.
Without message body you can't send a message to the user. You want to send a message in background .Simply you refer the topic like web service, api reference .Its help you to send a message in background. hope this is helpful for you..
