Please expose means so that Transport.send(Message msg, Address[] addresses)
may be sometimes called in place of Transport.send(Message msg)

Key: EMAIL-86
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-86
Project: Commons Email
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Blake Fridman
Problem:
We have been using Commons Email for years without issue. Recently we have
found a good use case to have non-production environment redirect emails to
another email address/public outlook folder to make sure our customers are not
accidentally emailed nor or people in our company sent emails from non-prod
applications (emails look the same as prod so users have a hard time
differentiating and some users also get hundreds of emails a day so if we can
stop them from getting them that would be great).
Proposal:
I propose exposing the following functionality in
org.apache.commons.mail.Email.java:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Transport.html#send(javax.mail.Message,%20javax.mail.Address[])
_Send the message to the specified addresses, ignoring any recipients specified
in the message itself. The send method calls the saveChanges method on the
message before sending it. _
What's great about this means is that message header still has TO/CC/BCC
headers as if it was in production so when viewed in a client such as outlook
looking at the folder the email went to it's easy to sort and see who it's
intended for (great for Training and SQA departments).
Possible Solutions:
There are a couple of solutions that come to mind that involve modifying
org.apache.commons.mail.Email.java, hopefully they will help:
- Adding a new Send method that takes in receipients (and clearly states that
any previous addresses added will be in the email message headers but ignored
when the email is sent)
- Adding new method addRecipients and if that is called automatically use
_Transport.send(Message msg, Address[] addresses)_ in place of
_Transport.send(Message msg)_
Anything that is added will probably need to be exposed by the classes that
utilize Email.java (such as HTMLEmail)
