<p>A module <code>example</code> with a <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/interface/MailSystemInterface/7"><code>MailSystemInterface</code></a> implementation called <code>ExampleMailSystem</code> should add the following in its <code>example.install</code> file:</p>
<pre>
<code>/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem'));
}
</code>
</pre>
<p>The above settings allow mail sent by <code>example</code> to use <code>ExampleMailSystem</code>. To make <code>ExampleMailSystem</code> the site-wide default for sending mail:</p>
<pre>
<code>mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => 'ExampleMailSystem'));
</code>
</pre>
<p>To restore the default mail system:</p>
<pre>
<code>mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => mailsystem_default_value()));
</code>
</pre>
<p>Or simply:</p>
<pre>
<code>mailsystem_set(mailsystem_defaults());
</code>
</pre>
<p>If module <code>example</code> relies on dependency <code>foo</code> and its <code>FooMailSystem</code> class, then the <code>example.install</code> code should like like this:</p>
<pre>
<code>/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'FooMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example' => ''));
}
</code>
</pre>
<p>If module <code>example</code> only wants to use <code>FooMailSystem</code> when sending emails with a key of <code>examail</code>, then the <code>example.install</code> code should look like this:</p>
<pre>
<code>/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example_examail' => 'FooMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example_examail' => ''));
}
</code>
</pre>
<h4 id="new-in-2.x-branch"><em>(New in 2.x branch)</em></h4>
<p>To change the site-wide defaults to use the <code>FooMailSystem</code> for formatting messages and the <code>BarMailSystem</code> for sending them:</p>
<pre>
<code>mailsystem_set(
  array(
    mailsystem_default_id() =&gt; array(
      'format' =&gt; 'FooMailSystem',
      'mail' =&gt; 'BarMailSystem',
    ),
  )
);
</code>
</pre>
<p>To change the site-wide defaults to use the <code>FooMailSystem</code> for sending messages, while continuing to use the current system for formatting them:</p>
<pre>
<code>mailsystem_set(
  array(
    mailsystem_default_id() =&gt; array(
      'mail' =&gt; 'FooMailsystem',
    ),
  )
);
</code>
