Introduction

What does it do?

This extension extends the class.t3lib_htmlmail.php library of TYPO3 which uses PHP's built in mail() function for sending mails. The problem is that PHP's mail() function is not capable of handling SMTP authentication so e.g. users who don't have a local mailserver will probably need this feature.

TYPO3 uses another component class.t3lib_formmail.php for sending form mails (contentelement “form”). This component is XCLASSEd as well.

Administration

Upload and install the extension via the TYPO3 Extension Manager. Configuration options will show up after installing.

ATTENTION: currently mails sent by the install tool will NOT be handled by this extension. This is due to the fact that the install tool does not load extensions.

For testing you will have to install an extension which sends emails (such as sr_feuser_register)

Known problems

  • When running this extension without installed PEAR mail, sending mails will fail
  • XCLASS related problem: When using more then one TYPO3 extension which extends class.t3lib_htmlmail.php or class.t3lib_formmail.php via XCLASS, only one of these extensions will work.
  • currently mails sent by the install tool will NOT be handled by this extension. This is due to the fact that the install tool does not load extensions.
