Sending Mail Test

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a tool in OFBiz that lets the admin to check that
the sending mail stuff is correctly set up (SMTP, authentication etc.).
No webtool for this?

Thank you,
-Bruno

Not at this time.
however you can look at the logs.
you will get a lot of error messages if it is not set up.

Thank you BJ,
however I think a feature that let the admin to send a test mail to a
specified address could help.

I agree.
thought you were thinking of a more sophisticated monitoring system.

No,
just a standard "sending mail test" function.

how do you propose to let someone know that the email did not go where
it was sent, such as the redirect property is set to default address.

What I was thinking to is a screen where an e-mail address can be entered
and a default subject and body message is proposed.
The admin can put there its own e-mail address and check its email box.
If the message is received it means that OFBiz is able to send messages
(SMTP well configured).

if you use the ofbiz send mail,
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=sendMail
then
# -- redirect all mail notifications to this address for testing
#mail.notifications.redirectTo=

        if (UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(redirectAddress)) {
            String originalRecipients = " [To: " + sendTo + ", Cc: " +
sendCc + ", Bcc: " + sendBcc + "]";
            subject += originalRecipients;
            sendTo = redirectAddress;
            sendCc = null;
            sendBcc = null;
        }
which means it will be redirected.
so everything may be setup and working but someone forgot to remove the
redirect or they should be notified that the email really went to the
redirect address.

also it should return the service information to see if ofbiz thinks it
sent it correctly.

just my 2 cents.
