What is Clojurewerkz Mailer
Mailer is an ActionMailer-inspired mailer library for Clojure. It combines Postal, Clostache and a number of its own features and conventions to make delivering complex template-based emails as painless as possible.
Project Goals
- Do not reinvent the wheel
- Email delivery should be testable
- Steal good parts from ActionMailer
Project Maturity
Mailer is a moderately mature project, the API hasn't changed in several years.

Documentation
Mailer uses Mustache templates on the classpath and Postal mail message attribute maps. Key functions are:
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/build-email
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/deliver-email
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/render
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/delivery-mode!
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/with-delivery-mode
clojurewerkz.mailer.core/with-settings
(ns my-app
(:require [clojurewerkz.mailer.core :refer [delivery-mode! with-settings with-defaults with-settings build-email deliver-email]]))
;; set default delivery mode (:smtp, :sendmail or :test)
(delivery-mode! :test)
;; build a message (can be used in unit tests or for various forms of delayed delivery)
;;
;; Pleasen note that email/templates/warning.mustache should be on your classpath. For example, with Leiningen 2,
;; you would use :resource-paths for this, like so: :resource-paths ["src/resources"]
(build-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "OMG everything is down!"}
"email/templates/warning.mustache" {:name "Joe" :host "host3.megacorp.internal"})
;;build a message using an HTML template, specify parameter mime type :text/html
(build-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "OMG everything is down!"}
"email/templates/warning.html.mustache" {:name "Joe" :host "host3.megacorp.internal"} :text/html)
;; build a message using alternative message body, specify alternative plain-text body in addition to main HTML body of the message
(build-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "Hello!"}
"templates/html_hello.mustache" {:name "Joe"} :text/html
"templates/hello.mustache" {:name "Joe"} :text/plain)
;; deliver mail, uses *delivery-mode* value to determine how exactly perform the delivery, defaults to :text/plain
(deliver-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "OMG everything is down!"}
"email/templates/warning.mustache" {:name "Joe" :host "host3.megacorp.internal"})
;; deliver mail, specify html content type
(deliver-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "OMG everything is down!"}
"email/templates/warning.html.mustache" {:name "Joe" :host "host3.megacorp.internal"} :text/html)
;; deliver mail using alternative message body, specify alternative plain-text body in addition to main HTML body of the message
(deliver-email {:from "Joe The Robot", :to ["[email protected]" "[email protected]"] :subject "Hello!"}
"templates/html_hello.mustache" {:name "Joe"} :text/html
"templates/hello.mustache" {:name "Joe"} :text/plain)
;; alter message defaults, for example, From header
(with-defaults { :from "Joe The Robot <[email protected]>" :subject "[Do Not Reply] Warning! Achtung! Внимание!" }
(send-warnings))
;; alter delivery mode (effective for current thread only):
(with-delivery-mode :smtp
(do-something))
;; alter SMTP settings (effective for current thread only, only makes sense for :smtp delivery mode):
(with-settings { :host "smtp.megacorp.internal" }
(with-delivery-mode :smtp
(do-something-that-delivers-email-over-smtp)))
;; render a template
(render "templates/hello.mustache" {:name "Joe"}) ;; => "Hello, Joe"
