Send mail to an email address using Yesod

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yesod doesn't have mailing functions. You have to use other packages outside Yesod.
