-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow using Amason SES (and some others) as email sending
platform
Key: FINERACT-699
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-699
Project: Apache Fineract
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Juhan Aasaru

To send out email from platform one can only use SMTP services where SMTP
username is an actual email address ([email protected]). Amazon Simple Email
Service (and many others) have usernames that don't contain '@' sign at all,
Amazon SES has usernames that look like this:
AKIAJZ2SHHT7XXXXXXXX
To solve this issue I propose a fix where one can configure additional
parameter "fromEmail" and this is used as fromEmail instead of username. And
since we're here I propose also one other additional field "fromName" to be
configured as the display name of the sender (can configure organization name
to be used there).
I think it is best to package this new functionality into
GmailBackedPlatformEmailService as it everything remains backward compatible
with existing installations and they can benefit from being able to set
fromName.
I have already created and tested code modifications (I will create a pull
request shortly).
In the flyway scripts - when new configuration fields "fromEmail" and
"fromName" are created - SQL query looks up the value of "username" and uses
that for initial value for both. So no configuration will break but after the
changes have been applied the administrator can change these values.
The good part is that community app doesn't need any new code - it picks up new
fields automatically:
