emailSendScript

// Liferay Groovy Script to send a test email.
// This script demonstrates how to use Liferay's MailServiceUtil to send an email.
// Before running, ensure your Liferay instance's SMTP settings are correctly configured
// in Control Panel -> System Settings -> Mail.

    String fromAddress = "[email protected]"; // <-- REPLACE WITH YOUR SENDER EMAIL
    String fromName = "Liferay Test Sender";       // <-- REPLACE WITH YOUR SENDER NAME

    // 2. Define Recipient's Email Address
    String toAddress = "[email protected]"; // <-- REPLACE WITH YOUR RECIPIENT EMAIL (a real one!)
    String toName = "Test Recipient";                  // <-- REPLACE WITH YOUR RECIPIENT NAME

        This is a test email sent from a Liferay Groovy script.

        If you received this, your Liferay mail configuration is working!
