Building Protocols

If you want to build your own protocol you will have to do the following
1.Create a CFC that inherits from cbmailservices.models.AbstractProtocol
2.Create the init() and send() methods
3.Give your protocol a name in the init() via the variables.name variable.
4.Register it in the mailers section of the configuration​
Here are the method signatures of the two methods to implement:
/**
 * Constructor
 *
 * @properties The protocol properties to instantiate
 */
function init( struct properties = {} ){
	variables.properties = arguments.properties;
	variables.name = "MyProtocol";
	return this;
}
​
/**
 * Implemented by concrete protocols to send a message.
 *
 * The return is a struct with a minimum of the following two keys
 * - `error` - A boolean flag if the message was sent or not
 * - `messages` - An array of messages the protocol stored if any when sending the payload
 *
 * @payload The paylod object to send the message with
 * @payload.doc_generic cbmailservices.models.Mail
 *
 * @return struct of { "error" : boolean, "messages" : [] }
 */
struct function send( required cbmailservices.models.Mail payload ){
​
}
That's it!
