I'm unable to find any good documentation or examples of how to send an mail to an email address using Yesod.
More practically, I'll extract the information the user typed inside a simple form (name, age, body of message) and send this information as a mail to an email address.
I'm kind of lost in this task.
There are three packages I'd recommend you look at:
mime-mail, which is a package for composing emails and rendering to bytestrings. It can also send via the system sendmail executable.
mime-mail-ses, which can send mail from mime-mail via Amazon SES.
smtp-mail, which can send mail from mime-mail via an SMTP connection.
There is some discussion about sending email in the auth chapter of the Yesod book.
Yesod doesn't have mailing functions. You have to use other packages outside Yesod.

I am currently building an automation email in SendGrid. The setup process seems very straightforward, but I can't find how or where to add a CC email address.
I've researched SendGrid's documentation and other sites to find a possible solution. Two sources had the right idea, but they provided examples using Node.js (see SendGrid Personalizations and Twilio Blog). I am needing to add a CC address inside SendGrid's Automation Email creator.
Does the SendGrid Automation system provide this capability, or is this best achieved through Node.js (or other background-handling languages)?
I don't believe that you can send an Automation with a cc.
You can track when Automation emails are sent to users by registering for the Event Webhook.
When users reply to the automation email and just get an email saying that their message was received, I assume that is because the email address you send the automation from is just set up to autorespond. You could set that email address up with the Inbound Parse Webhook so that you can trigger other events when you receive emails to that address. You could, in that case, send an email to your sales team, or register the response in a database, or forward the message to a CRM system.
If the only solution for you is to use a cc, then Automations may not work for you and you will have to send using the Mail Send API which gives you lots more control over the email being sent, but does lose the automation features.
Is there some kind of GUI tool or interface I can use to send and receive email for Mailgun?
https://mailgun.com
Hi, I read whole documentation but don't understand how do I use Mailgun? is there any body who can tell me how can i use mailgun its really important please help me guyz.... –
I think your answer depends on how you want to send and receive email. Mailgun is built for transactional email, so if you're looking to use it for sending and receiving personal email, that might not be the best fit.
If you want to use mailgun as your SMTP relay for sending transactional mail from your site, you might want to try one of these guides from Rackspace, Mailgun's parent company:
https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/28/t/3897
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/introduction-to-mailgun-email-automation
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/configuring-mailgun-for-your-website
The TL;DR is that you need to sign up for a Mailgun account, verify your domain, and configure your application to use Mailgun as the SMTP relay.
Additionally, if you're building an application from scratch, you can incorporate the Mailgun API to send email directly. Instructions are available in the Mailgun Quick Start guide: https://documentation.mailgun.com/quickstart.html
Hope that helps.
For a project I need to setup either a mail server (like Open X-change, Kolab) or I can use email service as Saas from providers like Mailgun, Sendgrid etc. But my prime requirements are:
Create new email addresses using (Rest) API or any other API programmatically.
Ability to create huge number of email ids (more than 10,000)
I have researched and found some like mailgun provides facility of sending / receiving messages through APIs. But nothing was mentioned about creating new email ids using APIs.
Does anyone know any mail server / SaaS which provides the aforementioned facilities?
To have a mail id, you need to be able to accept messages at that location, which would be a full mail service such as Gmail.
If you just need to send "as" addresses, you can use an SMTP service such as SendGrid. You'd just need to make sure the domain is legitimate and can receive mail, and that you set the Reply-To value to something that you can accept mail at.
I want to create a new software that can be controlled by email.
It will work like followup.cc or followupthen.com.
The users of these softwares can give commands to the system by using only email. For example, sending an email to 1minute#followup.cc sets the system to send a notification email after 1 minute. Or sending an email to 4weeks#followup.cc sets the system to send a notification email after 4 weeks.
I have never seen an example for implementing such an email user interface. I don't know where to start. Do you know of any good tutorial or open source code that I can take as example?
Note: I appreciate anything useful but my preferred programming languages are python or java.
Use the SubEthaSMTP library to receive mail. That gives you the SMTP envelope information: reverse-path (usually the sender's email address), recipient and message content as a stream.
Based on your question it seems that you do not need to parse the message (for example to retrieve the subject), but if do need, then parse the mail using the JavaMail library.
You can find example code in the SubEthaSMTP wiki pages. A more complex example is SubEtha Mail, a mail list manager.
My application will be used in a manner that the user is remote from his computer running the application, receiving data via text messages sent periodically from the PC. Im sending the text message via email, using the number#carrierdomain.com. To simplify determining the user's smtp server, I've been sending the message using the destination phone carrier's smtp, instead of the whatever may or may not be available at the PC. This has worked so far with AT&T and T-Mobile, but not Verizon, as they have discontinued their smtp service.
I'm using mailsend v1.15 http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mailsend/mailsend.html
but Im open to alternatives.
I do have a less than ideal workaround, which is to use google or hotmail's smtp, but that requires a login/pass.
If I can send the text through regular email, using outlook, it works. I've looked at outlooks smtp logs, but that doesn't really help.
If its not being sent to a Verizon smtp server, how does it get routed, and is it something that my application can use?
Is there a reliable way to send email without having the senders smtp?
Theoretically, any smtp server can send your e-mail. However, due to the overwhelming amount of spaming on the internet, pretty much every isp has locked down their smtp server and will not allow anonymous relaying of e-mail.
If you do have the outlook client on the box you are sending the e-mail you can look at using one of the Outlook APIs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg608200.aspx
to send the e-mail message. You are using the outlook configuration then and don't have to worry about it your code.
As long as an SMTP server is configured to allow relay from a remote domain then you can use it send email from/to virtually any address. There are downsides, however, to using any SMTP server to send an email from a specific domain - the most notable of which is that the recipient's domain will likely flag the message as spam because the domain of the SMTP server is different from that of the sender's email address.
There are other non-email APIs that can be used to send text messages, if that is something you're willing to consider. Check out:
Tropo (http://www.tropo.com)
Zeep Mobile (http://www.zeepmobile.com)
Best of luck to you.
Impossible. SMTP is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, without this is impossible to access to another account with Email format. You can make a php mail where you don't need to have smtp, but your access will be limited, not all ESP / ISP will allow you to delivery those emails, because they need to identify you using your SMTP and MX Lookup (Reverse MX A records) from your server. It exists more ways, but are 100% SPAMMERS and HACKERS methods and I don't recommend to use them.
