Message Format

The mailer expects that JSON messages will be sent to the queue with this format / data:

{
  "identifier": "mysupersecretidentifier",
  "to": "someone@somewhere.com",
  "from": "me@here.com",
  "subject": "Title Goes Here",
  "body": "Captivating, I'm sure"

Disclaimer

This does not handle failure scenarios with any grace whatsoever. In fact, it will probably lose whatever email it pukes on and then just die without even saying "sorry".
