[TYPO3-core] RFC #16610: Provide a SwiftMailer transport that only saves send mails to files

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

This is a SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=16610

Branches: trunk

Problem:
We introduced the SwiftMailer interface in t3lib_mail in 4.5 alpha2. So
we can now generate RFC conforming mails and have a powerful mail engine
available which also supports different transport mechanisms (like
mail(), sendmail and direct SMTP).

To ease debugging mail sending in a TYPO3 installation, it might be
useful for a complete installation not really *send* mails, but just
save them to a file.

This RFC provides this feature, allowing the admin to configure the new
transport "mbox", which saves all mails to a mbox-conformant file
(simple text file, see RFC 4155). This file can be viewed with a regular
text editor or a mail client which can open a "mbox" file.

Together with Jigal's RFC #16591 which hooks into all other mail() usage
we are able to log every outgoing mail to a file!


How to test:
Set transport to "mbox" in the install tool and configure the desired
output file. Install Jigal's patch (manually fix the conflict in the
core_autoloader file..) or use the attached patch which adds t3lib_mail
support to the scheduler test task and just let TYPO3 send some mails!


Additional info:
This feature is a follow-up the the new mailing API and will be included
according to the rules for "new features" in this phase (see
http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v45-projects/wiki/Feature_Freeze,
where "t3lib_mail" is listed as potential candidates for follow-ups).


Cheers,
Ernesto
