SMTP-MAIL

Making it easy to send SMTP emails from Haskell.

cabal install smtp-mail

Sending with an SMTP server

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Network.Mail.SMTP

from       = Address Nothing "email@domain.com"
to         = [Address (Just "Jason Hickner") "email@domain.com"]
cc         = []
bcc        = []
subject    = "email subject"
body       = plainTextPart "email body"
html       = htmlPart "<h1>HTML</h1>"

mail = simpleMail from to cc bcc subject [body, html]

main = sendMail host mail

or with an attachment:

main = do
  attachment <- filePart "application/octet-stream" "path/to/attachment.zip"
  let mail = simpleMail from to cc bcc subject [body, html, attachment]
  sendMail host mail

or, with authentication:

main = sendMailWithLogin host user pass mail

Note: sendMail' and sendMailWithLogin' variations are also provided if you want to specify a port as well as a hostname.

Sending with sendmail

If you'd like to use sendmail, the sendmail interface from Network.Mail.Mime is reexported as well:

-- send via the default sendmail executable with default options
renderSendMail mail

-- send via the specified executable with specified options
renderSendMailCustom filepath [opts] mail

For more complicated scenarios or for adding attachments or CC/BCC addresses you can import Network.Mail.Mime and construct Mail objects manually.

Caveat

You will encounter authentication errors if you try to connect to an SMTP server that expects SSL. If that's what you're looking to do, try HaskellNet-SSL.

Thanks

This library is based on code from HaskellNet, which appears to be no longer maintained. I've cleaned up the error handling, added some API functions to make common operations easier, and switched to ByteStrings where applicable.
