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.

Installation

First, add the dependency to your shard.yml:

dependencies:
  email:
    github: arcage/crystal-email

Then, run shards install

Usage

To send a minimal email message:

require "email"

# Create email message
email = EMail::Message.new
email.from    "your_addr@example.com"
email.to      "to@example.com"
email.subject "Subject of the mail"
email.message <<-EOM
  Message body of the mail.

  --
  Your Signature
  EOM

# Set SMTP client configuration
config = EMail::Client::Config.new("your.mx.example.com", 25)

# Create SMTP client object
client = EMail::Client.new(config)

client.start do
  # In this block, default receiver is client
  send(email)
end

This code will output log entries to STDOUT as follows:

2018/01/25 20:35:09 [crystal-email/12347] INFO [EMail_Client] Start TCP session to your.mx.example.com:25
2018/01/25 20:35:10 [crystal-email/12347] INFO [EMail_Client] Successfully sent a message from <your_addr@example.com> to 1 recipient(s)
2018/01/25 20:35:10 [crystal-email/12347] INFO [EMail_Client] Close TCP session to your.mx.example.com:25

Client configs

You can set some connection settings to EMail::Client::Config object.

That can make SMTP connection to use TLS / SMTP AUTH, or output more detailed log message.

See EMail::Client::Config for more details.

Email message

You can set more email headers to EMail::Message object.

And, you can also send emails including attachment files, HTML message, and/or resource files related message body(e.g. image file for HTML message).

See EMail::Message for more details.

Concurrent sending

By using EMail::ConcurrentSender object, you can concurrently send multiple messages by multiple connections.

rcpt_list = ["a@example.com", "b@example.com", "c@example.com", "d@example.com"]

# Set SMTP client configuration
config = EMail::Client::Config.new("your.mx.example.com", 25)

# Create concurrent sender object
sender = EMail::ConcurrentSender.new(config)

# Sending emails with concurrently 3 connections.
sender.number_of_connections = 3

# Sending max 10 emails by 1 connection.
sender.messages_per_connection = 10

# Start email sending.
sender.start do
  # In this block, default receiver is sender
  rcpts_list.each do |rcpt_to|
    # Create email message
    mail = EMail::Message.new
    mail.from "your_addr@example.com"
    mail.to rcpt_to
    mail.subject "Concurrent email sending"
    mail.message "message to #{rcpt_to}"
    # Enqueue the email to sender
    enqueue mail
  end
end

See EMail::ConcurrentSender for more details.
