SMTPMail-drogon

Simple Mail for the Drogon framework.

It is made as a plugin for the drogon framework. It can be included into the drogon build with little modification of the class declaration.

Update [23-12-2020] Add DNS support

Added DNS support.

Appreciations

• The implementation takes SMTPClient for Qt from kelvins as reference.
• There requires a delay SSL encryption from the Tcp-socket (named TcpClient in trantor/drogon) and the major author of drogon reponsed quickly.

Usage

Download to the plugin directory of the target drogon app, E.g. ~/drogon-app/plugins

$ git clone https://github.com/ihmc3jn09hk/SMTPMail-drogon.git
$ cp SMTPMail-drogon/SMTPMail.* ~/drogon-app/plugins

• Be aware of add the plugin into the config.json. Set the "name" field to "SMTPMail"

Add the reference header and get the plugin from the app(), E.g.

...
#include "../plugins/SMTPMail.h"
...

//Inside some function, E.g. A controller function.
...
//Send an email
auto *smtpmailPtr = app().getPlugin<SMTPMail>();
auto id = smtpmailPtr->sendEmail(
          "127.0.0.1",                  //The server IP/DNS
          587,                          //The port
          "mailer@something.com",       //Who send the email
          "receiver@otherthing.com",    //Send to whom
          "Testing SMTPMail Function",  //Email Subject/Title
          "Hello from drogon plugin",   //Content
          "mailer@something.com",       //Login user

  LOG_INFO << msg; /*Output e.g. "EMail sent. ID : 96ESERVDDFH17588ECF0C7B00326E3"*/
  /*Do whatever you like*/
}
...
auto *smtpmailPtr = app().getPlugin<SMTPMail>();
auto id = smtpmailPtr->sendEmail(
          "127.0.0.1",                  //The server IP/DNS
