Description

Prior to XWiki 6.4, the Mail configuration was part of the Administration Application.

Allows configuring Mail. For example, the Mail Sender API uses this configuration when sending mail.

To use, go the global Administration page of your wiki and click on the Email categories:

If turned on, the mails are displayed obfuscated, for example in the User's profile page:

Mail sending parameters:

The Additional Properties fields allow passing JavaMail configuration properties. Here are some common ones:

Option	Description	Examples
mail.smtp.localhost	Local host name used in the SMTP HELO or EHLO command. Defaults to InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). Should not normally need to be set if your JDK and your name service are configured properly.	mail.smtp.localhost=yourhostname.com
mail.smtp.auth	If true, attempt to authenticate the user using the AUTH command. Defaults to false. If you specify a username and a password, XWiki will set this property automatically for you	mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.starttls.enable	If true, enables the use of the STARTTLS command (if supported by the server) to switch the connection to a TLS-protected connection before issuing any login commands. Note that an appropriate trust store must be configured so that the client trusts the server's certificate. Defaults to false.	mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true

Note that these configuration options can also have default values configured in XWiki's configuration file.
