RFC: ZfcMail

RFC Status: Work-in-Progress

RFC Author(s): Evan Coury

Abstract

ZfcMail would be a module for handling all of the common activities surrounding sending e-mail from applications. This would mainly include email templates and transport adapters. This functionality would be useful for everything from password reset emails for ZfcUser to simple notifications, full blown mailing lists, and sending newsletters.

Proposed Features

• Support for pluggable mail transports SlmMail is a good example of this. Should support third-party modules which provide additional transports.
• Support view-based templates, rendered via Zend\View.
• Support database-driven templates (should support Zend\Db and Doctrine).
• Takes into consideration accessibility (HTML and text-based version of each template, etc).

Expected Dependencies

Hard Dependencies

None.

Soft Dependencies

• ZfcBase - for the AbstractDbMapper when using Zend\Db for database templates.

Existing / Similar Modules

• juriansluiman/SlmMail
• Ninjadeer/ThorEmail
• bedeabza/BdzHtmlEmail

I believe both module authors would be in support of unifying under a single ZF-Commons e-mail module.

Example(s)

TBD.
