# scm-mail-plugin The mail plugin provides an central api for sending e-mails. This api can be used by other plugins. ## Configuration The scm-mail-plugin provides a single place for the mail server configurations at Config-\>General-\>Mail Settings. ## API Usage First you have to add the dependency to your pom.xml e.g.: ```xml sonia.scm.plugins scm-mail-plugin 1.4 ``` But note you should use at least version 1.15 of scm-plugins as parent. Now you can use the MailService class via injection e.g.: ```java import com.google.inject.Inject; import javax.mail.Message.RecipientType; import org.codemonkey.simplejavamail.Email; import sonia.scm.mail.api.MailService; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; /** * Service for e-mail notifications. * @author Sebastian Sdorra */ public class NotificationService { /** logger for NotificationService */ private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger( NotificationService.class); private MailService mailService; /** * Constructs a new NotificationService. * * @param mailService injected mail service */ @Inject public NotificationService(MailService mailService) { this.mailService = mailService; } /** * Sends a mail from admin@scm-manager.org to test.user@scm-manager.org, * if the mail service is configured. * * @throws MailSendBatchException */ public void sendNotification() throws MailSendBatchException { // check if the mail service is configured if ( mailService.isConfigured() ){ // create a new e-mail Email mail = new Email(); mail.setFromAddress("SCM-Administrator", "admin@scm-manager.org"); mail.addRecipient("Test User", "test.user@scm-manager.org", RecipientType.TO); mail.setSubject("SCM-Manager notification"); mail.setText("Notification from SCM-Manager"); // send the e-mail mailService.send(mail); } else { // log that the mail service is not configured logger.warn("mail service is not configured"); } } } ```
