Postmail is a simple REST based service for sending email. Similar to Amazon's Simple Email Service. It is asynchronous and highly scalable. Email jobs are placed on a message queue and multiple workers process them independently.
First install dependencies.
sudo cpanm .
Edit the config.yml file to configure your Stomp message broker and SMTP server settings.
Start the server:
plackup -s Starman ./bin/app.pl
Start the worker:
./bin/worker.pl
Send an email:
lwp-request -m POST http://localhost:5000/email <<EOD
{
"from": "bob@foo.com",
"to": "joe@foo.com",
"subject": "hi from postmail",
"body": "bye"
}
EOD
Send an email to multiple recipients:
lwp-request -m POST http://localhost:5000/email <<EOD
{
"from": "bob@foo.com",
"to": ["joe@foo.com", "bazz@foo.com"],
"subject": "hi from postmail",
"body": "bye"
}

It is very easy to get a Stomp message broker up and running:
sudo cpanm POE::Component::MessageQueue
sudo mq.pl
Running sudo mq.pl will start a broker on localhost listening on port 61613.
The default stomp settings in config.yml will then just work.
