USING SSL

This fork supports SSL connections. To use it, add an option ssl: true. See usage above.

USING TEMPLATES

create a simple template

/templates/sample.txt

 Hello {{username}}, This is a sample template of the node mailer.
It uses mustache templating to do basic search and replaces. The {{color}} {{animal}} {{adverb}} ran over the {{noun}}.

then send the mail using some simple JSON based Mustache replacement.

 var email = require("../lib/node_mailer");
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
email.send({
host : "localhost", // smtp server hostname
port : "25", // smtp server port
domain : "localhost", // domain used by client to identify itself to server
to : "marak.squires@gmail.com",
from : "obama@whitehouse.gov",
subject : "node_mailer test email",
template : "../templates/sample.txt", // path to template name
data : {
"username": "Billy Bob",
"color": function(){
var arr = ["purple", "red", "green", "yello"];
return arr[Math.floor(Math.random()*3)];
},
"animal": "monkey",
"adverb": "quickly",
"noun": "hot lava"
},
authentication : "login", // auth login is supported; anything else is no auth
username : "my_username", // username
password : "my_password" // password
},
function(err, result){
if(err){ console.log(err); }
});
}
