Feature: Test Mail aus Backend versenden

Es wäre hilfreich, wenn man per Klick eine Test-Mail versenden könnte um zu überprüfen, ob die SMTP-Einstellungen korrekt gesetzt sind bzw. ob der Server die Mails versenden kann.

Kann gerne unter System-Wartung sein oder evtl. ist das auch besser im Contao Manager aufgehoben.

Das müsste in den Manager, weil es eine Kommandozeilen-Operation ist:

vendor/bin/contao-console swiftmailer:email:send --help

Ich hätte etwas bedenken über den Manager freien E-Mail Versand zu erlauben. Würde es reichen wenn eine definierte E-Mail an den Systemadmin versendet werden kann?

Naja, du musst ja eingeloggt sein. Aber vordefiniert einfach als Testmail, ist sicher eine gute Option. Das würde ja die Anforderung abdecken :)

Kann ich das Ticket dann zum Manager verschieben?

Ich denke ein neues Ticket mit verweis ist sinnvoller…

[contaoacademy]

Vordefinierter Text wäre ausreichend. Button "Teste SMTP" und dann manuell die Zieladresse eingeben.

@fritzmg is this even still possible in later Contao versions (since we switched from SwiftMailer to Symfony Mailer)?

[fritzmg]

Yeah, unfortunately not, since the symfony/framework-bundle doesn't provide something equivalent :( (though I haven't checked in the recent Symfony versions).

[Toflar]

Maybe work on a PR for Symfony 5.4 then? Also see https://symfony.com/blog/the-end-of-swiftmailer :)

Yes, I always wanted to, but never got around to it 🙈. Hopefully I'll be able to do it in September :)

Did we get that feature in 4.13 now?

[fritzmg]

Nope: contao/contao#3869

[contaoacademy]

+1 für diese Funktion.

Symfony 6.2 will ship this command again: symfony/symfony#47040

I've been thinking that ugrading to at least Symfony 6.2 would allow this feature, however that would also raise the minimum dependency of the Contao Manager to at least "php": ">=8.1".

Since there are still many PHP 7.2 - 8.0 installations, this would lead to the Contao Manager being updated automatically and then no longer being usable.

We could implement the bundle from fritz tho:

• "php": ">=7.1"
• https://github.com/inspiredminds/symfony-mailer-command-bundle

[fritzmg]

The Contao Manager does not need to raise its dependencies. It only needs to check whether the mailer:test command is available.

[zoglo]

You mean like the install tool... I see

[fritzmg]

One thing to note though: using mailer:test will bypass the contao.mailer configs, as mailer:test does not actually use the mailer service. It sends the emails directly through the given or default transport.

[aschempp]

Checking for the availability of the command would be easy. However, the Contao Manager currently has no interface/UI for stuff like this (e.g. also applies to #219). Building a UI for every little setting seems kinda hard (but could be at least a temporary solution).
