This example shows how to send a text mail using chainability.

Long version

Future plans

• automatic virus scan

Future version

Sending a mail should be as easy as possible. This is an outlook how the interface could look like in future.

Attention: This is pseudo code. The used classes are not implemented yet.

Thoughts on this example

• Sending mail with this short code will be using SMTP, only.
• The SMTP server will be determined by fetching MX records of the user's domain.
• Setting the SMTP server port is still needed.
• Assigned receivers will be checked for existance automatically.
• If the auth method is receiving only one parameter, it will be understood as password.
• The auth username will be taken from sender address.
• Thrown exceptions can be catched by a defined error handler.
• If everything is set the mail can be sent.

Good to know

Using Google as SMTP

Google tried to protect its SMTP access by several measures. If you are having problems sending mails using Google SMTP, tried these steps:

1. Open a browser an log into Google using a Google account.
2. Allow "less secure apps" to have access.
3. Allow app to have access.
4. Try again!
