Example

This library requires Rust 1.40 or newer. To use this library, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
lettre = "0.10"

extern crate lettre;

use lettre::{SmtpClient, Transport, Message};
use std::convert::TryInto;

fn main() {
    let email = Message::builder()
        // Addresses can be specified by the tuple (email, alias)
        .to(("user@example.org", "Firstname Lastname").try_into().unwrap())
        // ... or by an address only
        .from("user@example.com".parse().unwrap())
        .subject("Hi, Hello world")
        .body("Hello world.")
        //.attachment_from_file(Path::new("Cargo.toml"), None, &TEXT_PLAIN)
        // FIXME add back attachment example
        .build()
        .unwrap();

    // Open a local connection on port 25
    let mut mailer = SmtpClient::new_unencrypted_localhost().unwrap().transport();
    // Send the email
    let result = mailer.send(email);

    if result.is_ok() {
        println!("Email sent");
    } else {
        println!("Could not send email: {:?}", result);
    }

    assert!(result.is_ok());
}

Testing

The lettre tests require an open mail server listening locally on port 2525 and the sendmail command.
