public class Sendmail
extends org.apache.cocoon.acting.ServiceableAction
implements ThreadSafe, Configurable

The Sendmail action class sends email.

Action supports following parameters:

smtp-host
The smtp server to send the mail through. If not specified, default from cocoon.xconf will be used.
smtp-user
The smtp user. If smtp-user and smtp-host not specified, default from cocoon.xconf will be used.
smtp-password
The smtp user's password. If smtp-user and smtp-host not specified, default from cocoon.xconf will be used.
from
the email address the mail appears to be from
to
the email address(es) the mail it sent to. This can be multiple addresses separated with commas.
replyTo
the email address(es) replies should be sent to. This can be multiple addresses separated with commas.
cc
an email address(es) of someone, who should receive a carbon copy. This can also be a list of multiple addresses separated by commas.
bcc
an email address(es) of someone, who should receive a black carbon copy. This can also be a list of multiple addresses separated by commas.
subject
the subject line of the email
src
A url specifying the source of the text body of the email
srcMimeType
The optional Mime Type of the source of the text body of the email if you specified src
body
the text body of the email, if src is specified, body will be ignored
charset
the character set, which should be used the encode the body text. This parameter is only used, if no attachements are send.
attachments
One or more attachments, separated by whitespace, which should be attached to the email message. If the argument contains a ':', it is assumed, that the argument describes a org.apache.excalibur.source.Source object. Otherwise, it is assumed, that the argument describes a request parameter of an uploaded file, which Cocoon has internally turned into a Part object.

Minimally, from, to, body parameters should be specified. Rest of parameters are optional.

The class loads all of these parameters from the sitemap, except the attachements, which may come from file upload request parameters. Note it's strongly recommended that the to, cc and bcc addresses be specified by the sitemap, not the request, to prevent possible abuse of the SendmailAction as a spam source.

One or two parameters are returned to the sitemap depending on the outcome of sending the message: status and message.

If the email message could be successfully delivered only the parameter status with the value success is returned.

If there was a problem sending the message, status can have the value user-error and the message parameter is set to an explainatory text. This usually indicates problems with one or more email addresses. Other problems lead to a value of server-error for status and message contains a corresponding message.
