Sending email from Azure #10

Closed wiltwitt closed 13 years ago

wiltwitt commented 13 years ago

How can I use MvcMailer in Azure since Azure doesn't support smtp? I am planning to use 3rd party api to send email so is there a way to extend UserMailer.Welcome().ToHTML or .ToText to return View Result so that I can pass it to the 3rd party body method?

3rdPartyMailApi.body = UserMailer.Welcome().ToHTML

Thanks Wil

I think you should double check if there's really no SMTP support on Azure. UserMailer.Welcome() gives you a MailMessage object. So, you could do the following, if you really need this:

3rdPartyMailApi.body = UserMailer.Welcome().Body

I would suggest, instead of doing this, just use the MailMessage object if possible, because it comes with a host of goodies, such as multi-part emails, inline images and so on.
