I think the best thing will probably be to use a 3rd party service.

Amazon SES and Mailgun are both reliable, pretty cheap and have simple lua wrappers. (The mailgun api is pretty easy, and SES is OK, but has an annoying auth flow, so that library is helpful)

I can help once I figure out how to get my Mac running everything...

Hey, we got that working on the Beetle Cloud thanks to @backface, and he's done that before for the TurtleStitch site. As I said before, we just need an STMP provider, Lapis knows how to handle email, we don't need to use anything fancier (or more expensive) than that.

I've got something setup.

I found a bunch of rocks that may be of use. These are the ones that seem to make things easier, and they are both designed to work in an Nginx/OpenResty installation:

I'll test them both today and see which one works better :)

Yay! lua-resty-mail was the way to go. The dev is the same that made lua-auto-ssl. I love this guy :)
