xAP message via Gmail

The xap-mail daemon allows you to send an xAP message and have it redirected to a mailbox. This is useful for monitoring and alerts.

Configuration is via the GUI however manual configuration of the /etc/xap.d/xap-mail.ini file is supported. A typical setup for gmail would look like this:

[mail]
server=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587
from=job.blogs@gmail.com
fullname=Joe Blogs
password=mypassword

To send am email construct an xAp packet of this form.

xap-header
{
target=dbzoo.wombat.Mail
class=email
}
message
{
to=mary.little@gmail.com
subject=How is you lamb?
text=I'll be around for dinner tonight at 6pm
}

When it successful sends the email it will send a OK packet

xap-header
{
class=mail
source=dbzoo.wombat.Mail
}
mail.ok
{
text=Send mail is complete
}

An error packet with a status code will be send otherwise. The value of the error can be consulted at: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html
