-- the only SMTP postman!
pat is an easy to use SMTP client for Erlang. You only need to remember
two functions:
pat:connect/2takes an SMTP relay as a{Host, Port}pair and a list of supported options (see below) and opens an SMTP connection.pat:send/2sends a given email via an SMTP connection.
Example
(pat@postoffice)1> Opts = [{user, <<"pat">>}, {password, <<"postman">>}],
(pat@postoffice)2> Conn = pat:connect({<<"smtp.yandex.ru">>, 25}, Opts),
(pat@postoffice)3> rr("include/*").
(pat@postoffice)4> Email = #email{sender= <<"[email protected]">>,
(pat@postoffice)4> recipients=[<<"[email protected]">>],
(pat@postoffice)4> message= <<"Hello world!">>}.
(pat@postoffice)5> pat:send(Conn, Email).
