esmtp is a simple OTP application providing a way to send emails (and attachments) from erlang systems.
The esmtp application is configured with OTP application configuration env variables.
- smarthost
- This is a tuple giving the hostname and port of the smtp server to send mail via. This will usually be a local smtp server on port 25.
- default_from
- This is the default From address to use on outgoing mail if a From address is not supplied.
- login
- The SMTP AUTH credentials to use. Either 'no_login' when not using SMTP AUTH (default) or {Username::string(),Password::string()}.
