SMTP-MAIL-NG ============ An SMTP client EDSL. If you want to interact with an SMTP server, this library may be able to help you. It even supports STARTTLS! The star is the SMTP monad, terms of which (thanks to do notation) often resemble an SMTP session. ### Sending with an SMTP server ```haskell {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} import Network.BSD (getHostName) import Network.Mail.SMTP.SMTP import Network.Mail.SMTP.SMTPParameters import Network.Mail.SMTP.Types import Network.Mail.SMTP.Auth import Network.Mail.SMTP.Send import Network.Mail.Mime import Control.Monad.IO.Class (liftIO) import Data.ByteString.Char8 (pack) main = smtp smtpParameters $ do hostname <- liftIO getHostName -- Send EHLO and expect a 250 command $ EHLO (pack hostname) expectCode 250 -- Upgrade the connection to TLS -- This is a kind of utility term that takes care of sending STARTTLS, -- expecting a 220, and then upgrading the underlying connection to TLS. startTLS -- Authenticate with LOGIN scheme authLogin "jarndyce@gmail.com" "mySuperSecretPassword" -- Send the message send message -- End the session. -- Closing the connection is handled automatically by the function smtp command QUIT -- We use datatypes from the mime-mail package to describe Mail. message :: Mail message = simpleMail' to from subject body where from = Address (Just "John Jarndyce") "jarndyce@gmail.com" to = Address (Just "Harold Skimpole") "harold@skimpole.com" subject = "Hey!" body = "It works!" smtpParameters :: SMTPParameters smtpParameters = (defaultSMTPParameters "smtp.googlemail.com") { smtpVerbose = True } ``` ### Moving forward We must implement support for more AUTH schemes. Right now all that we facilitate is LOGIN, although other methods are possible via the bytes term. There is an orphan datatype, Response, from before the fork. It may be good to use this instead of bare Ints. It would be nice to give a convenient interface for simply sending some messages, in which the user must supply only a list of Mail values, an SMTPParameters, and a description of the authentication and encryption parameters of the mail server. ### Thanks This library is forked from Jason Hickner's smtp-mail, but it has diverged significantly and bears little resemblance.
