LABKEY.Message and sending emails to people who are not users Ben Bimber  2011-02-01 07:59

LABKEY.Message seems designed to only allow sending of emails to people who are members of the site. Our site is configured to use an LDAP server and every labkey login is keyed to an email from our department. While all users technically have this email, many use different ones as their primary emails.

We have a lab who is creating an email notification system and they want to be able to send emails to other email addresses. Is there a good way to send emails to non-registered email addresses?

I suggested that maybe their code could spawn a "mailto" link instead of using LABKEY.Message. Not as nice, but potentially could work. The users could also make their official email forward to gmail, but I'm not sure if people are going to go for that.

Thanks.
