Options

Thus module has some options to allow you to quickly customize the basic functionality.

The following options are available:

• domains - A array of key value pairs. The default key is used for email addresses that did not specify any domain
• transport - The specification for the email transport. A type and options key can be specified
• from - An array of arrays where each inner array should specify the name and email keys. Optionally an domain key can be specified that is available in the domains option. If no domain is specified, default is used.
• layouts - An array of array where each inner array can specify a plain and/or html key. The value for these keys should point to view file that you have defined in the view_manager configuration. Hence, the view manager from the application is used to locate the view script.
• mails - An array of arrays where each inner array can specify the following options: from, a value that points to a key in the from options array. layout: a value that points to a key in the layouts array. If not specified, no layout is used. subject: the subject of the email. If not specified the subject in template will be used. template: an array containing the keys html, plain and subject. These should point to a view script specified by the view_manager.

Send email

Let $emailService be an instanceof Mailing\Service. (Can be obtained with the MailingServiceProviderTrait). An email is then send with $email->sendMail($message, 'alias', $variables). The $message variable is an instance of Zend\Mail\Message and you should specify addresses in this object. The second parameter is a key in the mails array specified in the configuration. Variables can be passed as last parameter. These will be available in your view script.
