The sendmail plugin supports smtp authentication as of June 2008. In order to use it you will need to add the two properties to your XWikiPreferences page. See: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPMAIL-10 If you open your XWikiPreferences in the class editor, you can use the box on the right to add the two string properties smtp_server_username and smtp_server_password. Add them as strings, and don't worry about the property configuration for them, the default should be fine. Now open XWikiPreferences in the object editor, and you will have to make sure you then expand the XWikiPreferences collapsed menu. At the bottom of that menu you will see the two new text fields for your smtp user name and password. I'm glad to hear it - it's proving to be a deal breaker, otherwise for my College. Care to enlighten me as to how one configures the SMTP username:password?

That seems to have done the job - when I register as a new user I receive an email. The email template has this: This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message. In order to activate your account, please follow this link: $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}") So the email you recieved did not contain the url, it instead contained this velocity code? Where/how do I edit this template so that it presents as a URL? The template is located under XWiki.XWikiPreferences in the Registration area. You should have "User Email Verification" set to Yes and the "Validation e-Mail Content" Text area should contain: ---- #set($wikiurl = $xwiki.getDocument("Main.WebHome").getExternalURL()) #set($wikiname = $wikiurl.substring($wikiurl.indexOf("//"))) #set($wikiname = $wikiname.substring(2, $wikiname.indexOf("/", 3))) Subject: Validate your account on $wikiname Hello $xwiki.getUserName("XWiki.$xwikiname", false), This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message. In order to activate your account, please follow this link: $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}") ---- when sent, the urls and wiki names should show up. After checking this, do you still have the problem? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Email-system-in-xwiki-tp2566794p2572039.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
