Email from the core

Okay, here we go! This took me way too long! :slight_smile:

Here’s a nice overview of what SMTP servers expect protocol wise:

Make sure you base64 encode your username / password ahead of time (node.js example):

new Buffer("username").toString("base64")
new Buffer("password").toString("base64")

Here’s the Sending Email code I modified based on @jboswell’s code:

I got this to send me an email, I think we can do a lot of work to improve on this though!

P.S: Be careful when sending emails! Your SMTP server will throttle or ban you if you send too many too fast, or wrongly! Also check your spam folder! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
David
