Introduction

cbMailServices is a module to send email in a fluent and abstracted approach.

Welcome to the ColdBox Mail Services

Sending emails doesn't have to be complicated or archaic. The ColdBox Mail Services (cbmailservices) module will allow you to send emails in a fluent and abstract way in multiple protocols for many environments in a single cohesive API. The supported protocols are:

• Engine Mail - Leverages the Engine's mail component (BoxLang => bx:mail, CFML => cfmail)

• File - Write emails to disk

• InMemory - Store email mementos in an array. Perfect for testing.

• Null - Ignores emails sent to it.

• Postmark - Send via the PostMark API Service (https://postmarkapp.com/)

• Mailgun - Send via the MailGun API Service (https://www.mailgun.com/)

It also sports tons of useful features for mail sending:

• Async Mail

• Mail Queues

• Mail merging of variables

• Mail attachments, headers, and parameters

• View and Layout+View rendering for mail

• Mail Tracking

• Multiple mailers

• Success and Error callbacks

• Mailable@cbmailservices delegate for adding mailing traits to objects.

• So Much More!
