Can I update "From" address/ Sender from Day CQ mail service at runtime ?

Hi Leads,

Thanks in advance.

 

I want to change the sender means "From" address while using Day Mail Service in AEM 6.5. I have tried but it takes only STMP user email as sender. New values are not picked for sending mail- email.setFrom(from);

 

 

 Regards

Sanket

Hey @user1576 

In the screenshot, I don't see any email in the field "From address". Have you tried putting some email there and triggering your functionality? I think that email would pick in your "From" in the email.

      Hey @user1576 

      Have you made sure to set this variable before calling send() method?
      You can see the snippet here for your reference: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/messagegatewayservice/m-p/252196

        @user1576 

         You can change this value by configuring the Day CQ mail service

        service in the Web Console.

        To configure the from-email address, add a sling:OsgiConfig node to the repository. Use the following procedure to add the node directly using CRXDE Lite

        When working with AEM there are several methods of managing the configuration settings for such services; see Configuring OSGi for more details and the recommended practices.

          Hi @user1576 

           

          Yes, you can update the "From Address". If you are using the Email object then you can set the from address to it.

          Email email;
          email.setFrom("test@example.com")

          I tested it out and was able to change the from address dynamically. Please let me know if this works for you.

           

          Thanks

          Jeevan

              I'm not sure why it didn't work for you. I have written a sample servlet to test this scenario. Pasting the whole servlet code below.

               

              import com.day.cq.mailer.MailService;
import org.apache.commons.mail.Email;
import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException;
import org.apache.commons.mail.MultiPartEmail;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingSafeMethodsServlet;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Reference;

import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.IOException;


@Component(service = Servlet.class,
        property = {
                "sling.servlet.paths=" + "/bin/abc/testmail",
                "sling.servlet.methods=" + "GET"
        })
public class TestMailServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet {

    @Reference
    protected transient MailService mailService;

    @Override
    protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

        try {
            Email email = new MultiPartEmail();
            email.setFrom("from@example.com");
            email.addTo("jeevan@example.com");
            mailService.send(email);
        } catch (EmailException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

                Hi All,

                 I have used it the below code and it's working as of now.but thing this is not proper way.

                 

                Configuration configuration = configAdmin.getConfiguration("com.day.cq.mailer.DefaultMailService");

                if (configuration != null) {

                // get properties

                Dictionary<String, Object> properties = configuration.getProperties();

                Dictionary<String, Object> newProperties = properties;

                // update properties
                if(properties == null)
                {
                newProperties = new Hashtable<String, Object>();
                }

                // update new properties

                configuration.update(newProperties);

                 

                // revert to old property

                configuration.update(properties);

                 

                 

                Thanks Sanket

                  Hi @user1576 ,

                  I think Gmail wont allow you to change the from address

                  Please check this Stack overflow thread.

                  java - how to set correct from email address in javamail? - Stack Overflow

                  and Google Documentation

                  Send emails from a different address or alias - Gmail Help (google.com)

                    Hi,

                     

                    Set up an SMTP using your desired email address for sending emails (e.g., test@example.com). Then, configure/add this SMTP within the SMTP, which was configured in settings of the AEM Day Mail Service.
                     
                    Email email;
                    email.setFrom("test@example.com")
