[opencms-dev] How to send email from a form

[twinkle]

Christian,
   
  Thanks for your reply. Can you please let me know what changes were made to the opencms.system.xml? Here are the changes I made and this does not work. The alternate SMTP is blank and username and password are also blank.
   
  <mail>
              <mailfrom>nobody at nowhere.com</mailfrom>
              <mailhost name="111.111.1.11" protocol="smtp" user="username" password="secure"/>
              <mailhost name="alternative.smtp.server"/>
              <mailhost name="another.alternative.smtp.server"/>
  </mail>
  I appreciate your reply. Thanks

You can use org.opencms.mail.CmsSimpleMail or org.opencms.mail.CmsMultipartMail for this.

it's documented in the JAVADOCs, e.g. http://www.codedroids.com/javadocs/opencms/build_6_0_3/docs/api/org/opencms/mail/CmsSimpleMail.html
I have not used this yet, however.
