# SOAP client proxy documentation

`SMTP` is a svcutil-generated proxy for the SAIF-internal ASMX mail service `clsSAIFMessage`† (`http://webqa/sendmail/clsSAIFMessage.asmx`), carried in `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies`. It is the degenerate case among this library's four SOAP client proxies: the generated client `clsSAIFMessageSoapClient` is `internal`, **no authored wrapper exists**, and no source file in this repository constructs or invokes it. Because of the `internal` modifier and the absence of `InternalsVisibleTo`, no downstream consumer of the shipped package can reach it either.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Proxy name** | `SMTP` |
| **Mechanism** | Service Reference (svcutil) |
| **Generated namespace** | `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies.SMTP` |
| **Generated artifacts** | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/SMTP/` |
| **WSDL document** | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/SMTP/clsSAIFMessage1.wsdl` |
| **Proxy base type** | `System.ServiceModel.ClientBase<T>` (`internal`) |
| **Hand-written wrapper** | None |
| **Consuming project** | `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies` |
| **Target service** | `clsSAIFMessage`† |
| **Endpoint source** | Not applicable — no repository source constructs the proxy; the generated `<client><endpoint>` entries in `app.config` are present but unused |
| **Binding** | `basicHttpBinding` (SOAP 1.1) and a `customBinding` (SOAP 1.2) declared in `app.config`; neither is used at runtime |
| **Operations present** | 5 |
| **Operations called** | 0 |
