[Discussion] Email Support? #170

Open indexzero opened 11 years ago

@kenperkins Since Rackspace bought MailGun are you planning to integrate their API into pkgcloud? It's one of those sets of APIs I'm on the fence because it seems like it doesn't belong but at the same time there isn't an email API abstraction for node.js yet.

There are decent clients for each of the majors:

Let me know your thoughts.

Well, from @rackspace perspective, we definitely want bindings for all of our services. Clearly it gets a little murky when it comes to email as it's not exactly part of infra. And it's even more nebulous when you consider MailGun isn't part of our consolidated API.

Given that, if we were going to add email, I'd think MailGun would be its own discreet provider until we intergrate mailgun into RAX API proper.

That said, we still have a few bigger fish to fry on the unimplemented rackspace products: Block Storage, DNS (You addressed some of this already), Networking, Load Balancers, Monitoring and Backups.
