Actually I'm still waiting for it :/ I just made a quick check and it looks like that patch was not committed, there's no support for setting username and password in Administration, and registration mails still go via deprecated XWiki.sendMessage, which is using Apache Commons SMTPClient (made obsolete by JavaMail ages ago) and has no support for username/password and extra properties. As for mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true, AFAIK when used alone it simply does not make sense. _Please_ do something about it :/ If I remember correctly last time the main issue was that the code had to be integrated in core instead of mail plugin, please, can't we have the thing working at all first, worry about module separation later? Basic mail support _is_ core functionality. For me it's a showstopper, and I don't have enough time to maintain a private fork, either smtp auth goes in, or I'm going out :/ And before someone says it's open source and I should stop bitching and submit a patch - I _did_ submit a patch months ago :/ Greetings, Lilianne _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
