Send mail notifications via Gmail

[ssrini]

I require to also send out mail notifications via Gmail/Google Apps. The mail settings today do not permit that. Any easy ways this can be achieved?

Thanks

download PHPMailer from http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.o...loads/list and add a folder called PHPMailer in the docRootOfLetoDMS

I changed file inc/inc.ClassEmail.php

add after line 19

PHP Code:

require_once('../PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php'); 


in the class I added

PHP Code:

function mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $header){
        $recList = split(',', $recipient);
        $mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
        $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
        try {
          $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
          $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
          $mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
          $mail->Port       = 465;                   // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
          $mail->Username   = "rainer@example.com";  // GMAIL username
          $mail->Password   = "password";            // GMAIL password
          $mail->AddReplyTo('barbara@example.net', 'ReplyToMe');
          foreach ($recList as $value) {
            $mail->AddAddress($value, $value);
          }
          $mail->SetFrom('barbara@example.net', 'myDMS');
          $mail->Subject = $subject;
          $mail->Body = $message;
          $mail->Send();
        } catch (phpmailerException $e) {
          echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
        } catch (Exception $e) {
          echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
        }
    } 


lines like

PHP Code:

return (mail($recipient->getEmail(), $this->replaceMarker($subject), $this->replaceMarker($message), $header) ? 0 : -1); 


changed to

PHP Code:

return ($this->mail($recipient->getEmail(), $this->replaceMarker($subject), $this->replaceMarker($message), $header) ? 0 : -1); 


have fun
