Re: [Haskell-cafe] Sending email

28 Apr 2016


      I think I found what the problem was. I was using an Amazon SES account and
even though the email got sent successfully, the HTML and CSS got messed
up. When I used a regular Gmail account, the email came through with the
HTML and CSS as intended. So it must be something different in the way SES
expects this to be sent (what threw me off was that the email still got
sent). I guess that's the reason the *Network.Mail.Mime.SES* package
exists, so I'll switch over to using that one for the SES account and try
and get that working. Thanks.

Hi David,
Off the top of my head I'm not sure what the root cause of that would be,
or indeed if the problem lies with HaskellNet-SSL or with HaskellNet
itself.  If you can send me some sample code (either by email or by filing
an issue at https://github.com/dpwright/HaskellNet-SSL/issues) I can take
a look at it.

Hi Daniel,
I have another issue when using HaskellNet. It seems the way the library
sends email is causing extra spaces and line breaks to be inserted in my
HTML emails, which completely messes up the inline CSS styles. When I
turned *sslLogToConsole = True*, this is the kind of output I get in the
log:
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: "<!DOCTYPE html>\r"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: "\r\n"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: "<html><body>
<tr>Committer</th>\r"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: "\r\n"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: " SHA1</th>\r"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: "\r\n"*
*HaskellNet-SSL SEND: " 
As you can see, extra line breaks are being inserted right in the middle
of the HTML/CSS, which completely messes it up. Is there a way to prevent
that? The only option I could find was *Settings* *sslMaxLineLength*,
but setting that to a high number doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks,
David

Bardur,
Ah, ok, that makes sense.  Thanks for the clarification.

Hello David,
...
The only thing I noticed with Gmail is that in order to work it
requires
the sender's account to toggle this setting:
Allow less secure apps: OFF
That does sound unusual!  Is my understanding you correctly that
HaskellNet
doesn't work UNLESS you disallow less secure apps?  Or is it the other
(more intuitive) way round? (i.e. HaskellNet is being considered a
"less
secure" app and thus being disallowed).
It's not particularly sinister...
It's is simply that IMAP/SMTP do not have authentication options that
are "secure enough" for Google[1]. Or perhaps rather that they at least
must allow less secure authentication options per their respective
standards/RFCs.
Regards,
[1] Basically they don't enforce two-factor auth.
