Swoosh is popular and has many adaptors included

i want server not using thrid party solutions

[night spoke]

Swoosh, but also bamboo and probably most mail libraries supports just using your own smtp

[worn verge]

Swoosh SMTP has this. But if you care about your messages actually getting delivered to your users/customers a 3rd party service is basically required these days

[wraith walrus]

is there an example of doing this it is just small mail for my self not for users

[worn verge]

That’s fine

Just google elixir swoosh smtp adapter and you’ll prolly find something

I’m on mobile

You can use the "local" adapter first/in dev and then just configure smtp to send the mails

What email client are you trying to use for this project? I have a pretty simple example using gmail.

[wraith walrus]

i want send without using any third-party service

[night spoke]

Just use swoosh with the smtp adapter, it will do 100% what you want

And is super easy to use

It can be difficult to pass through anti-spam filters in such case

He said he wanted to send mail, he didn't specify whether others needed to receive it

swoosh will be fine if it's for within an org for example

(most of my mail gets sent to a local exchange server and that's it)

What is the issue with Swoosh or Bomboo for delivery email? I am working on somethign similar, but I would like the users of my app to actually receive my emails lol

I am currently looking for the right config to actually send email (right now I am just trying to send simple welcome message for new register)

[glossy axle]

It’s nothing to do with those libraries, it’s to do with the complexity of self hosting mail these days

[atomic tulip]

Yeah, that makes sense. What would you recommend to send email that will actually be received?

scroll up and you can see the context, the original poster didn’t want a third party mail provider. If you sign up for one of the reputable mail providers and aim swoosh/bamboo at their api you won’t have a problem
