To enable the MailTo transport sender

Edit the <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file and uncomment the MailTo sender as follows:

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
<transportSender name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender">
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.user">synapse.demo.0</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.password">mailpassword</parameter>
    <parameter name="mail.smtp.from">synapse.demo.0@gmail.com</parameter>
</transportSender>
Note

Be sure to import the SSL certificate of your SMTP host server (specified by the mail.smtp.host parameter) to the client trust store of your ESB. The ESB will use the trusted certificates in this client trust store to validate the identity of the SMTP server.

When importing the certificate, be sure to use a certificate alias that is relevant to your server. For example, if you are using Gmail, use 'smtp.gmail.com' as the certificate alias. See the instructions on importing certificates to a keystore.

The MailTo transport sender is generally configured globally so that all services can share the same transport sender configuration.

...

The MailTo transport listener implementation can be configured by setting the parameters as described in the JavaMail API documentation. For IMAP related properties, see IMAP Package Summary - IMAP. For POP3 properties, see POP3 Package Summary - POP3. The MailTo transport listener also supports the following transport parameters in addition to the parameters described in the JavaMail API documentation.
