Howdy peoples,
I'm planning out my PHPMailer solution. Some SMTP servers require a username
and password. Is it safe to store this in plaintext in a conf/ configuration
file? SMTP requires that it be base-64 encoded, but MD5 is irreversible.
.htaccess protects this directory, but does it do so for everybody?
If this isn't a good idea, what should I do instead? Should I allow the user
to specify a configuration file outside of the site directory? (Perhaps a
conf/ file would optionally redirect the PHPMailer plugin to another directory?)
Also, what name should I give to the PHPMailer conf/ configuration file? I'd
like the file to be specific to PHPMailer to allow users to switch among
mailers just by changing $conf['mailer'], should other mailers eventually
arise. What name should I give the PHPMailer DokuWiki plugin? Where should my
splitbrain write-up suggest the plugin be put? I presume it doesn't belong in
lib/plugins.
I could have conf/phpmailer.php and stubs/phpmailer.php, complimenting
PHPMailer's own file PHPMailer.php.
Do we need a special directory for stub plugins? A stub is a translation layer
between two applications. Perhaps PHPMailer is just the first and other kinds
of stubs are down the road?
Thanks!
