<div dir="ltr">As far as my web form for sending email as concerned, I've programmed it to use the existing capabilities in webadmin to send email. This has the advantage of at least being able to check if the mail sending capabilities have been configured in order to offer them.<div>

<div>Hi Douglas</div>

</div>
<div>I think that functionality shouldn't be only limited to OMERO.web. We already have in place working (I hope so) email sending bean on the server side to reset password.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please look at omero.properties # reset password</div>

<div>I think with the small adjustment we could move it to LocalAdmin interface and make it public.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm adding an email announcement page to the admin tabs in the web client. Chris mentioned there was a desire to add more email capability to the CLI so I've implemented the web app to use an email sending
back-end in utils.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I've already written the actual email sending functions in utils, but now there are some design decisions to make.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><b>OMERO Connection in Utils</b></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Is it desired that utils are not dependant on an OMERO connection? The web client interface I've designed offers an admin the opportunity to select all-users, some groups, some users and there is a text
field for arbitrary cc. I can do the resolution of omeName/id and groupId to sets of email addresses in the webclient code, but if it would be useful, I can put it in utils instead? Obviously this relies on having an OMERO connection in the utils, I would
just pass it in from the calling function.<br>

<ol>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Use these settings everywhere (wont make much sense)<br>
</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Define additional settings (bit clumsy)<br>
</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Change these setttings to more general ones and have the web use those (more work and requires config changes on existing servers).<br>
</li></ol>
<div>Also, obviously the web currently has the capability to send email. Should this be modified to use this generic email system?</div>

<div>Thoughts?</div>
