[1]Mail System Provides an Administrative UI and Developers API for safely updating the [2]mail_system configuration variable. Administrative UI The administrative interface is at admin/config/system/mailsystem. A [3]screenshot is available. Used by: * [4]HTML Mail * [5]Mime Mail 7.x-1.x-dev * [6]Postmark 7.x-1.x Developers API A module example with a [7]MailSystemInterface implementation called ExampleMailSystem should add the following in its example.install file: /** * Implements hook_enable(). */ function example_enable() { mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem')); } /** * Implements hook_disable(). */ function example_disable() { mailsystem_clear(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem')); } The above settings allow mail sent by example to use ExampleMailSystem. To make ExampleMailSystem the site-wide default for sending mail: mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => 'ExampleMailSystem')); To restore the default mail system: mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => mailsystem_default_value())); Or simply: mailsystem_set(mailsystem_defaults()); If module example relies on dependency foo and its FooMailSystem class, then the example.install code should like like this: /** * Implements hook_enable(). */ function example_enable() { mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'FooMailSystem')); } /** * Implements hook_disable(). */ function example_disable() { mailsystem_clear(array('example' => '')); } If module example only wants to use FooMailSystem when sending emails with a key of examail, then the example.install code should look like this: /** * Implements hook_enable(). */ function example_enable() { mailsystem_set(array('example_examail' => 'FooMailSystem')); } /** * Implements hook_disable(). */ function example_disable() { mailsystem_clear(array('example_examail' => '')); } (New in 2.x branch) To change the site-wide defaults to use the FooMailSystem for formatting messages and the BarMailSystem for sending them: mailsystem_set( array( mailsystem_default_id() => array( 'format' => 'FooMailSystem', 'mail' => 'BarMailSystem', ), ) ); To change the site-wide defaults to use the FooMailSystem for sending messages, while continuing to use the current system for formatting them: mailsystem_set( array( mailsystem_default_id() => array( 'mail' => 'FooMailsystem', ), ) ); References [8]drupal_mail_system() API documentation: [9]api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_ mail_system/7 [10]MailSystemInterface API documentation: [11]api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/interface/MailS ystemInterface/7 [12]Creating HTML formatted mails in Drupal 7: [13]drupal.org/node/900794 References 1. http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem 2. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_mail_system/7 3. http://drupal.org/node/1134044 4. http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail 5. http://drupal.org/project/mimemail 6. http://drupal.org/project/postmark 7. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/interface/MailSystemInterface/7 8. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_mail_system/7 9. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_mail_system/7 10. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/interface/MailSystemInterface/7 11. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/interface/MailSystemInterface/7 12. http://drupal.org/node/900794 13. http://drupal.org/node/900794
