<h1>Rust Ssmtp</h1>
Rust sending emails via ssmtp
This is the beginning stages of this repo and I am a Rust newbie. Please provide suggestions or corrections. Currently there is no working method (that I am aware of) to send emails with Rust. So I made rust-ssmtp.
The requirements for Rust Ssmtp:
<ol>
<li>Linux/OSX</li>
<li>ssmtp</li>
</ol>
\* Note: These instructions assume a Ubuntu machine and the use of a gmail account. You can use any smtp compatible email account.
<h2>Step One</h2>
<h3>Install ssmtp and configure</h3>
Run Commands:
```
apt-get -y install ssmtp
nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
```
Edit/Add the Follwing Lines:
```
root=your.account@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
FromLineOverride=YES
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=your.account
AuthPass=password
AuthMethod=LOGIN
```
\* Note: Special charecters such as symbols will not work. Also dispable two step authentication.
Test Command:
```
ssmtp your.account@gmail.com
Subject: Hello
I am the body. World!
```
Another Test Command:
```
echo From: anything@email.com\n Subject: Hello\n I am the body. Wrold! > email.txt
```
```
ssmtp your.account@gmail.com < email.txt
```
<h2>Step Two</h2>
<h3>Create Main.rs File</h3>
```
extern crate ssmtp;
use ssmtp::email;
fn main() {
// Configure email body and header
email::create(
// From Address
"from.email@example.com",
// To Address
"to.email@example.com",
// Subject
"Subject - Hello World!",
// Body
"<html><body><h1>I am the body. Hello Wolrd!<br/><br/>And I accept html.</h1></body></html>"
);
// Define the actual email address to receive the email
email::send("your.email@gmail.com");
}
```
