E-mail Configuration

A Notifier that sends e-mail notifications via the university’s SMTP server. In order to send e-mails, the user’s university e-mail address is needed. In order to be notified of incoming e-mails, the user must have set up an e-mail client that regularly checks the inbox. The following e-mail clients are particularly recommended:

• Mozilla Thunderbird (all desktop platforms)
• GNOME Evolution (Linux)
• K-9 Mail (Android)

Instantiation#

In order to create a new EMailNotifier, you need to provide a Configuration that contains the user’s university e-mail address and the Friedolyn password (which is used for SMTP authentication):

Configuration configuration = 
	new Configuration("es13nsa", "xkeyscore".toCharArray());

configuration.setEmail(new InternetAddress("edward.snowden@uni-jena.de"));
EMailNotifier notifier = new EMailNotifier(configuration);

If the user wishes to receive PGP-encrypted e-mails, use the constructor that sets the encryptMailWithPGP flag. A PGP public key in the user’s preferred contact methods is required for this feature to work (if unset, e-mails will be sent unencrypted):

ContactMethods contactMethods = new ContactMethods("es13nsa");

contactMethods.setPgpPublicKey(
	"""
	-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
	mDMEZqvKGRYJKwYBBAHaRw8BAQdA2ZJNX0DUD7jMfwINNTauUPLa+39JFRWokyBO
	rtgko560J0d1c3RhdiBCbGHDnyA8Z3VzdGF2LmJsYXNzQHVuaS1qZW5hLmRlPokC

	-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
	"""
);

EMailNotifier notifier = new EMailNotifier(configuration, true);

Settings#

Encrypt e-mails with PGP#

Whether e-mail notifications should be encrypted with PGP, using the student’s public key as specified in configuration.getContactMethods().getPgpPublicKey().
