Spring global mail tracking

Spring Global Mail Tracking!

Spring Global Mail Tracking is a feature in Spring Boot that allows you to track the status of emails sent using the Spring Mail module. This feature provides a way to track the delivery status of emails, including whether they were delivered successfully or not.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable Spring Global Mail Tracking:

Step 1: Add the necessary dependencies

In your pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or your build.gradle file (if you're using Gradle), add the following dependencies:

<!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-mail</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-mail-tracking</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- Gradle -->
dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mail'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mail-tracking'
}

Step 2: Configure the mail settings

In your application.properties file, add the following configuration:

spring:
  mail:
    host: your-mail-host
    port: your-mail-port
    username: your-mail-username
    password: your-mail-password
    protocol: smtp
    starttls: true
    auth: true

Replace the placeholders with your actual mail server settings.

Step 3: Enable mail tracking

In your application.properties file, add the following configuration:

spring:
  mail:
    tracking:
      enabled: true

This enables mail tracking for your Spring Boot application.

Step 4: Use the @MailTracking annotation

To track the status of an email, use the @MailTracking annotation on the method that sends the email:

@Service
public class EmailService {

  @MailTracking
  public void sendEmail(String to, String subject, String body) {
    // Send the email using Spring Mail
  }
}

The @MailTracking annotation tells Spring to track the status of the email and store it in the database.

Step 5: Configure the mail tracking database

In your application.properties file, add the following configuration:

spring:
  mail:
    tracking:
      database:
        url: your-database-url
        username: your-database-username
        password: your-database-password

Replace the placeholders with your actual database settings.

That's it! With these steps, you should now have Spring Global Mail Tracking enabled in your Spring Boot application.
