Hello, Here's the newest version.
Basically it bridges XWiki.sendMessage to MailSenderPlugin.
It uses Reflection, so no circulars, but it's not exactly pretty.
Why it's needed - registration / validation / activation e-mails are still sent via obsolete Apache Commons SmtpClient, so they _do not_ support SMTP AUTH.
This is a _major_ problem because due to spam and other abuse less and less hosting providers / network admins allow SMTP without authorization, and those who do are likely to have very insecure infrastructure.
I honestly believe this is a MUST HAVE for a secure, spam-free configuration.
Greetings, Lilianne
Hi Lilianne, Thanks for this patch. I (and other developers) don't quite agree with its approach, but I guess we could include it for the moment, until we implement the mail component. It's a hack, but one not as bad as other hacks we have, and it does solve a problem. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
