Yesterday there was a Twitter discussion about adding a default mailer to Elixir Phoenix (Storify). I’ve never used the Ruby on Rails mailer, but I got inspired to share my experience with both sending and receiving emails in a recent project.

Social notifications, personalized emails, error messages by email, URLs that automatically log you in, ad-hoc mailing lists, and all with pure Elixir and Erlang. Using Mailman and gen_smtp, with Amazon Simple Email Services. Learn about how to configure it, issues we ran into, and how we solved them.
