| 19 | * The new [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] now checks for permission before sending emails, when using it from scripts (i.e. when using the Mail Sender Script Service). There are currently 2 possible strategies that you configure in your ##xwiki.properties## file((( | ||
| 20 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 21 | #-# [Since 6.4M2] | ||
| 22 | #-# Defines which authorization checks are done when sending mails using the Mail Sender Script Service. | ||
| 23 | #-# Example of valid values: | ||
| 24 | #-# - "programmingrights": the current document must have Programming Rights | ||
| 25 | #-# - "alwaysallow": no check is performed. This is useful when running XWiki in a secure environment where we | ||
| 26 | #-# want to allow all users to be able to send emails through the Script Service. | ||
| 27 | #-# The default is: | ||
| 28 | # mail.sender.scriptServiceCheckerHint = programmingrights | ||
| 29 | {{/code}} | ||
| 30 | ))) | ||
| 31 | * A list of icons supported by XWiki have been created, with mapping for Silk and Font Awesome. Which means that we now propose a list of icons that are both present in Silk and Font Awesome. | ||

| 35 | = For Developers = | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | == Mail Sender Permissions == | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | There's now a [[pluggable permission checker>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API||anchor="HPluggablePermissionChecker"]] used for checking if a mail should be sent, when using the Mail Sender Script Service. Two implementations are provided (see above) but you can also provide your own implementation by implementing the ##org.xwiki.mail.script.ScriptServicePermissionChecker## component role: | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 42 | @Role | ||
| 43 | @Unstable | ||
| 44 | public interface ScriptServicePermissionChecker | ||
| 45 | { | ||
| 46 | /** | ||
| 47 | * @param message the message to check for authorization | ||
| 48 | * @exception MessagingException if the message is not allowed to be sent | ||
| 49 | */ | ||
| 50 | void check(MimeMessage message) throws MessagingException; | ||
| 51 | } | ||
| 52 | {{/code}} | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | For example you could imagine implementing checks on the size of the email or who the recipients are, run the content of the mail through some filter, etc. | ||
