Sending email from your wiki:
To configure this up, you must create a new property called smtp_login in the preferences class.  You cannot modify this normally in your preferences screen, so access the objects directly and ensure this field contains the fully qualified server name of your xwiki server; or other details your SMTP server HELO request requires to validate.
 
Dev team: Unsure of where to add this to documentation.  Ludovic has code for the actual sending already done (which can be referenced), but I'd say it's a fairly short footnote to initial configuration?
 
Other:
Still need a way to figure out part one.  The initial email notifier plugin is written for 0.9, and does not seem to work with any of the existing beta versions at all. 
Is there any way to make the xwiki system trigger a velocity macro or groovy code when save is called?  Short of using some cobbled javascript to load a nominated page, I can't seem to find anything in the API that will help with this - any pointers welcome.

Subject: [xwiki-users] Email Plugin - working?

Hi folks,

Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to use the email plugin at all on B2 or B3?

Specifically, I have two things I'm trying to acchieve:
1) Setup email notifications for changes to specific parts of a document (eg, change occurred to field x in document y).  Can't seem to find anything specific for details on this,- if there is something there, please point me in the right direction.

2) Emailing from the Xwiki system directly (documentation/faq for which seems to have disappeared since I last used it to implement on 0.9.840).  The origional sample which Ludovic wrote up is still there (http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Demo/SendMail on the old xwiki site), but configuration documentation seems to be missing,  From recollection, there was a few things we had to configure - as the default HELO is sent using a combination of fields which includes the version number (and naturally gets rejected by our SMTP server as it is not a valid email address supplied as origionator).
