Minimail sends emails. I use it to send notification emails to myself from scripts. /usr/bin/mail -s 'hi there' [email protected] can be called from a shell script as well, Minimail just wraps that. Minimail wraps command-line code with descriptive method and variable names and test code, to make maintenance easier. Minimail makes it easier to share this functionality between projects thanks to Rubygems and bundler.
# gem install bundler
gem 'minimail'
bundle
require 'minimail'
# Send an email (one-liner)
Minimail::Mail.new(:subject => "check it!", :recipients => "[email protected]").deliver
# Or do the same with a DSL style
m = Minimail::Mail.new
m.draft do
subject "check it!"
recipients "[email protected]"
end
m.deliver
# Include an attachment
Minimail::Mail.new(:subject => "check this attachment", :recipients => "[email protected]", :attachments => File.join(Dir.pwd, 'test', 'fake_attachment.txt')).deliver
# clone source, setup ruby and gemset (I use RVM). rvm use 1.8.7; rvm gemset create minimail; rvm gemset use minimail
# gem install bundler && bundle (make sure bundler "test" group gems are installed)
rake # as of this writing: 6 tests, 11 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
Some ISPs will block the SMTP port or black-list IP addresses. I was not able to send on a Verizon ISP connection for home, but was able to send using my cellular 3G connection (also Verizon) while tethered.
The mail will also likely show up in the spam folder.
# on OS X tail the mail log file
tail -f /var/log/mail.log
Minimail was inspired by some code from Val Aleksenko. Thanks Val!
