MailMessage (SmartClient Enterprise Server API 14.0d (2024-11-01))

java.lang.Object
- com.isomorphic.base.Base
- - com.isomorphic.mail.MailMessage

Direct Known Subclasses:

TemplatedMailMessage
```
public class MailMessage
extends Base
```
This class contains methods for creating and sending an email message.
There are two general approaches to doing this. Here is the first one:
```
 MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
 message.setFrom("me@my.address");
 message.addRecipients("friend1@his.address, friend2@her.address");
 message.setSubject("Greetings");
 message.setBody("Hello everyone!");
 message.send();
 
```
Here is the second approach:
```
 MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
 message.parse("From: me@my.address\n"
             + "To: friend1@his.address, friend2@her.address\n"
             + "Subject: Greetings\n"
             + "Hello everyone!\n");
 message.send();
 
```
You may mix and match the two approaches as desired. For example, you could use the parse method, then the addRecipient method.
Note: You must add your mail subsystem information to your server.properties file. An example follows:
#======================================================= # Mail subsystem #======================================================= # Comma-delimited list of all smtp servers capable of # relaying mail to the internet mail.system.mail.smtp.host: mail # What port is the MTA listening on mail.system.mail.smtp.port: 25 # Number of milliseconds to socket connet timeout. When # this limit is reached, we try the next mail server. mail.system.mail.smtp.connectiontimeout: 2000 # Base mail template directory mail.templateRoot: $webRoot/config/mailTemplates # What email account to use when the system sends out # mails mail.systemFromAddress: website@companyName.com mail.helpdeskAddress: support@companyName.com mail.URLPrefix: http://www.companyName.com
