Provide just the SMTP client portion from the SMTP server framework gen_smtp.
The SMTP client supports PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5 authentication as well as STARTTLS and SSL (port 465).
Also included is a MIME encoder/decoder, sort of according to RFC204{5,6,7}.
- Andrew Thompson (andrew AT hijacked.us)
- Jack Danger Canty (code AT jackcanty.com)
- Micah Warren (micahw AT lordnull.com)
- Bill Barnhill (bill.barnhill AT communitivity.net)
- Right now the extracted client is only used within the Hermes SMTP server, currently only for testing
If you'd like to share your usage of gen_smtp, please contact me.
Here's an example usage of the client:
gen_smtp_client:send({"[email protected]", ["[email protected]"],
"Subject: testing\r\nFrom: Andrew Thompson \r\nTo: Some Dude \r\n\r\nThis is the email body"},
[{relay, "smtp.gmail.com"}, {username, "[email protected]"}, {password, "mypassword"}]).
The From and To addresses will be wrapped in <>s if they aren't already,
TLS will be auto-negotiated if available (unless you pass {tls, never}) and
authentication will by attempted by default since a username/password were
specified ({auth, never} overrides this).
If you want to mandate tls or auth, you can pass {tls, always} or {auth, always} as one of the options. You can specify an alternate port with {port, 2525} (default is 25) or you can indicate that the server is listening for SSL
connections using {ssl, true} (port defaults to 465 with this option).
