Class cMailer

Mailer class for all mail sending purposes.

The class cMailer is a facade for the SwiftMailer library that simplifies the process of sending mails by providing some convenience methods.

Simple example

$mailer = new cMailer();
$mailer->sendMail(null, 'recipient@contenido.org', 'subject', 'body');

Default sender of mails When sending a mail using the sendMail() method of the cMailer class you can give a mail sender as first parameter. This can either be an email address as string or an array with the email address as key and the senders name as value. If you pass an empty value instead the default mail sender is used. This default mail sender can be configured with the system properties system/mail_sender and system/mail_sender_name. If no default mail sender is configured it defaults to "noreply@contenido.org" and "CONTENIDO Backend".

User defined mail sender example

$mailer->sendMail('sender@contenido.org', 'recipient@contenido.org', 'subject');
$mailer->sendMail(array('sender@contenido.org' => 'sender name'), 'recipient@contenido.org', 'subject');

Todo: explain resending of mails via resendMail() Sending user created messages Creating your own message is e.g. necessary in order to send mails with attachments as the simplified interface the cMailer class offers does not yet provide means to do so.
Todo: explain sending of user created messages via send() Default transport By default the cMailer tries to use an SMTP transport with optional authentication. If starting the SMTP transport fails, a simple MAIL transport will be used (using PHP's mail() function). User defined transport When creating a cMailer instance an arbitrary transport can be given to override the afore mentioned behaviour. User defined transport example <code>

Methods summary
`public`	# `__construct( Swift_Transport $transport = NULL )` Constructor to create an instance of this class. Constructor to create an instance of this class. System properties to define the default mail sender are read and aggregated. An arbitrary transport instance of class Swift_Transport can be given. If no transport is given, system properties to build a transport are read and aggregated and eventually a transport is created using constructTransport(). Parameters `$transport` `Swift_Transport` $transport [optional] a transport instance Todo add type hinting!
`public static Swift_Transport`	# `constructTransport( string $mailHost, string $mailPort, string $mailEncryption = NULL, string $mailUser = NULL, string $mailPass = NULL )` This factory method tries to establish an SMTP connection to the given mail host. If an optional mail host user is given it is used to authenticate at the mail host. On success a SMTP transport instance is returned. On failure a simple MAIL transport instance is created and returned which will use PHP's mail() function to send mails. This factory method tries to establish an SMTP connection to the given mail host. If an optional mail host user is given it is used to authenticate at the mail host. On success a SMTP transport instance is returned. On failure a simple MAIL transport instance is created and returned which will use PHP's mail() function to send mails. Parameters `$mailHost` `string` $mailHost the mail host `$mailPort` `string` $mailPort the mail port `$mailEncryption` `string` $mailEncryption [optional] the mail encryption, none by default `$mailUser` `string` $mailUser [optional] the mail user, none by default `$mailPass` `string` $mailPass [optional] the mail password, none by default Returns `Swift_Transport` the transport object Todo making this a static method and passing all the params is not that smart!
`public`	# `setCharset( string $charset )` Sets the charset of the messages which are sent by this mailer. If you want to use UTF-8, you do not need to call this method. Sets the charset of the messages which are sent by this mailer. If you want to use UTF-8, you do not need to call this method. Parameters `$charset` `string` $charset the character encoding
`public integer`	# `sendMail( string\|array $from, string\|array $to, string $subject, string $body = '', string\|array $cc = NULL, string\|array $bcc = NULL, string\|array $replyTo = NULL, boolean $resend = false, string $contentType = 'text/plain' )` Wrapper function for sending a mail. Wrapper function for sending a mail. All parameters which accept mail addresses also accept an array where the key is the email address and the value is the name. Parameters `$from` `string\|array` $from the sender of the mail, if something "empty" is given, default address from CONTENIDO system settings is used `$to` `string\|array` $to one or more recipient addresses `$subject` `string` $subject the subject of the mail `$body` `string` $body [optional] the body of the mail `$cc` `string\|array` $cc [optional] one or more recipient addresses which should get a normal copy `$bcc` `string\|array` $bcc [optional] one or more recipient addresses which should get a blind copy `$replyTo` `string\|array` $replyTo [optional] address to which replies should be sent `$resend` `boolean` $resend [optional] whether the mail is resent `$contentType` `string` $contentType [optional] MIME type to use for mail, defaults to 'text/plain' Returns `integer` number of recipients to which the mail has been sent
`public integer`	# `send( Swift_Mime_Message $message, array & $failedRecipients = NULL, boolean $resend = false )` Sends the given Swift_Mime_Message and logs it if $resend is false. Sends the given Swift_Mime_Message and logs it if $resend is false. Parameters `$message` `Swift_Mime_Message` $message the message to send `$failedRecipients` `array` &$failedRecipients [optional] list of recipients for which the sending has failed `$resend` `boolean` $resend [optional] if this mail is send via resend when resending a mail it is not logged again Returns `integer` See Swift_Mailer::send()
`public`	# `resendMail( integer $idmailsuccess )` Resends the mail with the given idmailsuccess. Resends the mail with the given idmailsuccess. Parameters `$idmailsuccess` `integer` $idmailsuccess ID of the mail which should be resend Throws `cInvalidArgumentException` if the mail has already been sent successfully or does not exist
