Email construction and delivery software.
Mailtools is a helpful application for those who are writing a web application and looking for a simple and efficient way to send emails from their program. This application offers several features that are ideal for this task, such as a straightforward API for sending plain text, HTML, and messages with attachments.
One of the most useful functions of Mailtools is the ThreadedMailer, which allows you to send emails in the background and return control to your application immediately, even when dealing with slow remote servers. Furthermore, temporary sending failures are automatically retried, so you can be sure that your emails will be sent successfully.
Mailtools also offers a RedirectMessages wrapper that routes emails to a test address when running in test mode, rather than directing them to live email addresses. This is a handy feature for developers who want to test their email functionality without sending out live emails.
To use Mailtools, creating a simple SMTP mailer is easy. All you need to do is import SMTPMailer from mailtools and create a mailer object with your chosen SMTP server address. However, note that this mailer will block until messages are sent and won't retry failures. To solve this issue, use the ThreadedMailer instead.
Sending messages with Mailtools is straightforward as well. You can use the send_plain function to send a plain text message, send_html to send an HTML message, or even add attachments to your message with the attachments parameter. With all these features, Mailtools is a great option for anyone looking to simplify their email sending process.
