Stuart Lewis reassigned DS-447:
-------------------------------
Assignee: Jeffrey Trimble (was: Stuart Lewis)
Hi Jeff,
This is a new script that needs documentation:
[dspace]/bin/dspace test-email
It attempts to send a test email to the email address that is set in dspace.cfg
(mail.admin). If it fails, it says why, and says to refer to the DSpace
documentation. We should probably just refer them to dspace-tech in the manual.
It would be good to put this script in as part of the post-installation tasks,
to ensure that the email server settings are correct.
Cheers,
Stuart

> Key: DS-447
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-447
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DSpace API
> Reporter: Stuart Lewis
> Assignee: Jeffrey Trimble
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
> Attachments: email-test.patch
>
>
> This patch adds a main() method to Email.java to send a test email. If the
> email cannot be sent, the error message is shown.
> This allows the email sending to be tested earlier during the installation,
> rather than waiting for problems to show later on (e.g. when submitting new
> items). This will help new users who get confused why submissions don't work,
> and allows us to provide a method for the admins to report the error message
> more easily.
> Documentation (and messages in build.xml) will need updating to tell the user
> to run this script.
