sending email via gmail Re: [Haskell-cafe] Sending email from a Haskell program
I ran into this problem when I wanted to send email from a HAppS web app, routing it through gmail. There actually used to be an SMTP client in HAppS but it was dropped a while ago. The most common workaround appears to be, just use sendmail. But I couldn't figure out a way to get sendmail to interface with gmail. (I think there is a way, there are blogs on it, I just wasn't patient enough to follow the directions.) What I finally did is, I have successfully followed the instructions in http://www.ericstockwell.com/?p=3 to send myself email from the command line. So I will probably use HSH to run shell commands in my haskell web apps, to send email. This process only took a few minutes, and seemed easier than the postfix/sendmail solutions I came across. Of course, this only works in unixy environments. thomas. 2007/9/27 brad clawsie <clawsie@fastmail.fm>:
jmuk's HaskellNet project from last year?
sweet! was there any documentation created for this? examples? anything? have people tried to make this work with ssl/tls libs?
by the way there looks like some other gems in the haskellnet dir. what exactly was haskellnet - a project to code to the major network protocols? are these libs stable? how does the HTTP lib stack up against Network.HTTP? any info on this project would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
