Grails ActiveSync Mail Plugin

Grails plugin for sending mail to an Exchange ActiveSync provider.

This is an incredibly simple (read: not robust) grails plugin that was hacked together to support email for a customer who only exposed ActiveSync for e-mail (i.e. - no SMTP for Exchange). It is based heavily on pieces of the Android Exchange code. All copyrights and attributions have been maintained with modifications noted.

Build

Once you've checked out the plugin, install it to your local Maven repo

> grails maven-install

Use

To use it, simply include it in the plugins section of BuildConfig.groovy as such:

plugins {
  runtime ":grails-activesync-mail:0.2"
}

Before you can begin using it, you need to configure the client with connection information

Configure

grails.plugin.eas.server = 'https://outlook.office365.com'  //the server on which your target ActiveSync service is hosted
grails.plugin.eas.userDomain = 'FOO' //the Windows domain that the email user you will be using belongs to
grails.plugin.eas.username = 'bar' //the username of the email user you intend to send emails as
grails.plugin.eas.password = 'password' //the password of the email user you intend to send emails as

Limitations

As stated before, this is a hack-job with not a whole lot of time invested in it. That being said, there are some pretty large limitations of this plugin:

• It only supports sending email
• As you can probably surmise from the above configuration, it only supports a single user as the sender at this point
• It has only been tested with Grails 2.4.3. I didn't do anything that shouldn't be compatible with 2.3.x, but use at your own risk
• It only supports Exchange Active Sync version >= 14.0
