Rust sending emails via sendmail.
This is the beginning stages of this repo and I am a Rust newbie. Please provide suggestions or corrections. Currently there is no working method (that I am aware of) to send emails with Rust. So I made rust-sendmail.
The requirements for Rust Sendmail:
- linux/unix machine
- sendmail installed
* Note these instructions assume a Ubuntu machine
Run Commands:
apt-get install sendmail
nano /etc/hosts
Edit: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain HOSTNAME_IF_YOU_HAVE ONE
Run Commands:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start
Run Command:
sendmailconfig
* Y to everything
extern crate sendmail;
use sendmail::email;
fn main() {
// Configure email body and header
email::create(
// From Address
"from.email@example.com",
// To Address
"to.email@example.com",
// Subject
"Subject - Hello World!",
// Body
"<html><body><h1>I am the body. Hello Wolrd!<br/><br/>And I accept html.</h1></body></html>"
);
// Define the actual email address to receive the email
email::send("your.email@gmail.com");
}
