xdmp:email

xdmp:email(
   $message as element(),
   [$options as (element()|map:map)?]
) as empty-sequence()

Summary

Send an email in an XQuery program. A valid SMTP Relay must be configured in the Groups page of the Admin Interface for the email to be sent. The format of the email message can be an XML file that complies with the schema files listed below, or it can be a JavaScript object that follows our definition of JSON email format (please see xdmp.email).

Parameters
$message An XML representation of an email message to send. The message must comply with the XML schemas defined in the following schema files:
  • install_dir/Config/email-xml.xsd
  • install_dir/Config/rfc822.xsd
where install_dir is the directory in which MarkLogic Server is installed.
options Options with which to customize this operation. You can specify options as either an XML element in the "xdmp:email" namespace, or as a map:map. The options below are XML element localnames. When using a map, replace the hyphens with camel casing. For example, "an-option" becomes "anOption" when used as a map:map key. When including an option from another function in an XML options node, use the namespace appropriate to that function in the option element.

<authentication>

The credentials to use for this request. This element can contain the following child elements:
  • username: The username of the user to be authenticated on the http server
  • password: The password for username.
An error will be thrown if authentication is used for a SMTP server that only supports classic STMP protocol.

<verify-cert>

A boolean value to specify whether the server's certificate should be verified. For an SMTP server that supports Extended SMTP, the default value is true. For an SMTP server that only supports classic SMTP, the default value is false. If a value of true is specified but the SMTP server only supports classic SMTP, an error will be thrown.
