How to send an e-mail from a specific user?

Hey there,

For sending e-mails with a workflow-transition I used the Scriptrunner post function "Send custom e-mail".

Now some user-rights changed in my company.

Via Post-Function I'm not able to use mail.setFrom("mymail@adress,com") in my scripts anymore. But its very important in this project to set a custom e-mail address as sender.

I think from now on I need to send the e-mails as a specific user (with the rights to use the mail.setFrom), so I think I will switch to "custom script post-function". 

How can I add a specific user as sender in my custom script?

What I know is this: 

def sendEmail(String emailAddr, String subject, String body) {
SMTPMailServer mailServer = ComponentAccessor.getMailServerManager().getDefaultSMTPMailServer()
if (mailServer) {
Email email = new Email(emailAddr)
email.setSubject(subject)
email.setBody(body)
mailServer.send(email)
log.debug("Mail sent")
} else {
log.warn("Please make sure that a valid mailServer is configured")
}
}

 

How can I change this script to use 

1. another Jira-User with the rights to use "mail.setFrom"

or

2. another smtp server with specified user, password, port, etc. 

for sending e-mails?

 

Thank you so much in advance!

It's working fine for me (Jira 8.5.0 / ScriptRunner 5.6.14.1-p5). Which version of Jira and ScriptRunner are you running?

As a test, I ran this successfully from ScriptRunner's script console:

import com.atlassian.mail.Email
import com.atlassian.mail.queue.SingleMailQueueItem
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

sendEmail("sender@somewhere.com","recipient@somewhere.com","Test","This is a test.")

def sendEmail(String from,String recipient,String subject,String body)
{
Email email = new Email(recipient)
email.setMimeType("text/html")
email.setFrom(from)
email.setSubject(subject)
email.setBody(body)
SingleMailQueueItem smqi = new SingleMailQueueItem(email)
ComponentAccessor.getMailQueue().addItem(smqi)
}
