In addition to the postmark
gem you also need to install tmail
or mail
gem. Pick the one you like most:
gem install mail - or - gem install tmail

Other API FeaturesYou can retrieve various information about your server state using the Public bounces API - developer.postmarkapp.com/bounces
# Get delivery stats: (JSON format) Postmark.delivery_stats # Get bounces information: (array of bounce objects) Postmark::Bounce.all # Find specific bounce by id: bounce = Postmark::Bounce.find(bounce_id) bounce.dump # string, containing raw SMTP data bounce.reactivate # reactivate hard bounce

EncryptionTo use SSL encryption when sending email configure the library as follows:
Postmark.secure = true

RequirementsThe gem relies on TMail or Mail for building the message. You will also need postmark account, server and sender signature set up to use it. If you plan using it in a rails project, check out the postmark-rails gem, which is meant to integrate with ActionMailer.
The plugin will try to use ActiveSupport Json if it is already included. If not, it will attempt using the built-in ruby Json library. You can also explicitly specify which one to be used, using
Postmark.response_parser_class = :Json # :ActiveSupport or :Yajl is also supported.
