EMail for Crystal

Simple email sending library for the Crystal programming language.

You can:

  • construct an email with a plain text message, a HTML message and/or some attachment files.
  • include resources(e.g. images) used in the HTML message.
  • set multiple recipients to the email.
  • use multibyte characters(only UTF-8) in the email.
  • send the email by using local or remote SMTP server.
  • use TLS connection by STARTTLS command.
  • use SMTP-AUTH by AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN when using TLS.
  • send multiple emails concurrently by using multiple smtp connections.

You can not:

  • use ESMTP features except those mentioned above.

Usage

# send simple 1 message

require "email"

EMail.send("your.mx.server.name", 25) do
  # [*] : useable multiple times

  # required
  subject  "Subject of the mail"
  from     "[email protected]" # [*]
  to       "[email protected]" # [*]

  # optional
  cc            "[email protected]"     # [*]
  bcc           "[email protected]"    # [*]
  reply_to      "[email protected]" # [*]
  sender        "[email protected]"
  return_path   "[email protected]"
  envelope_from "[email protected]"

  # required at least one `message`, `message_html` or `attach`
  message  <<-EOM
    Message body of the mail.

    --
    Your Signature
    EOM

  attach "./attachment.docx"                            # [*]

  # HTML email support
  # `message_resource` works almost same as `attach`, expect it requires `cid:` argument.
  message_html <<-EOM
    <html>
    <body>
    <h1>Message body of the mail.</h1>
    <img src="cid:[email protected]">
    <footer>
    Your Signature    
    </footer>
    </body>
    </html>
    EOM
  message_resource "./logo.png", cid: "[email protected]" # [*]
end

This code will output log entries to STDOUT as follows:
