Mail

Kloudspeaker can send emails on many occasions, for example on user registration or Notificator plugin.

To enable mail sending, configure it with following settings:

$CONFIGURATION = array(
	"enable_mail_notification" => TRUE,
	"mail_notification_from" => "[email protected]",
	...
);

Setting "mail_notification_from" defines the sender address (and optionally also name) used in mails.

For example, values can be given with address only "[email protected]", or with address and name "Administrator [email protected]").

If no value is given (default), mail is sent with system default.

PHPMailerSender

Default mail sender uses PHP internal mail functionality, which sends mail as configured in the PHP server configuration.

It is possible to use third-party mail sender library PHPMailer by changing the sender class:

$CONFIGURATION = array(
	"enable_mail_notification" => TRUE,
	"mail_notification_from" => "[email protected]",
	"mail_sender_class" => "mail/PHPMailerSender.class.php",
	...
);

PHPMailerSender makes it possible to use external SMTP server, it can be configured like this:

$CONFIGURATION = array(
	"mail_smtp" => array(
		"host" => MAIL_SERVER_HOST,
		"username" => USERNAME,
		"password" => PASSWORD,
		"secure" => SECURE_METHOD // optional, values "tls" or "ssl"
	)
	...
);

The option "secure" defines whether mail sending is done via TLS (value "tls") or SSL (value "ssl"), leave out to use non-secured connection.
