django-mailgun-mime 0.1.4

It is a wrapper for Django that allows to send mail via Mailgun`s API.

It is a wrapper for Django that allows to send mail via Mailgun`s API. For the reference of Mailgun`s API, please visit api for sending .

For the Django`s email implementation, please visit sending email .

This wrapper sends request to Mailgun`s mime API to efficiently use Django`s EmailMessage instance. In this case we just put mime message, prepared by django`s EmailMessage instance, and attach it as a file. After receiving your message Mailgun`s API will do the rest of job.

This wrapper also supports Mailgun`s extra headers, which can be very useful. So if the wrapper finds such header it will placed to request`s data. But please, notice that the wrapper does not validates Mailgun`s extra headers. Because after starting validating extra headers, it will stop to be simple and tiny. :-)

Requirements

Python 3.x Django 1.7+ requests for Python

Installation

$ pip install django-mailgun-mime

Quick start

1. Make an account at Mailgun;

2. Set up correctly Mailgun`s records at your DNS provider. (Just follow for the Mailgun instruction);

3. Wait until Mailgun will check and approve your settings;

4. If you fail go back to point 2;

5. Set up at yours project settings these variables:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_mailgun_mime.backends.MailgunMIMEBackend'
MAILGUN_API_KEY = 'your api key'
MAILGUN_DOMAIN_NAME = 'your.domain'
# optionally:
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[e-mail]'
SERVER_EMAIL = '[e-mail]'

6. Now you can send email via Mailgun API. Also you can send email through Mailgun SMTP service. In this case just use Django`s SMTP backend.

Examples

Firstly, we need to import some dependencies:

from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import send_mail, EmailMultiAlternatives
from django.core.mail import get_connection

A simple email sending example:

# We will use these paths ahead
path_to_txt = 'path/to/template.txt'
path_to_html = 'path/to/template.html'

s = 'Simple test for Mailgun awesomeness'
m = 'Congratulations! Now you know Mailgun awesomeness!'
context = {'title': s, 'message': m}

txt = render_to_string(path_to_txt, context)
html = render_to_string(path_to_html, context)
send_mail(s, txt, settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, ['[e-mail]'], html_message=html)

Example with Mailgun extra headers and file attachment:

s = 'Testing Mailgun awesomeness!'
m = 'Message content for email with tracking.'
context = {'title': s, 'message': m}

txt = render_to_string(path_to_txt, context)
html = render_to_string(path_to_html, context)

msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(s, txt, settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL,
                             ['[e-mail]'])
msg.attach_alternative(html, 'text/html')
msg.attach_file('path/to/file')
msg.extra_headers['o:tracking-opens'] = 'yes'
msg.extra_headers['h:Reply-To'] = '[e-mail]'
msg.send()

Example with specifying connection:

api_key = 'API_KEY_FROM_MAILGUN'
domain = 'yours.domain.name.checked.and.set.at.mailgun'
connection = get_connection('django_mailgun_mime.backends.MailgunMIMEBackend',
                            api_key=api_key,
                            domain=domain)

s = 'Testing specific connection!'
m = 'Well... You receive it. What now?'
context = {'title': s, 'message': m}

txt = render_to_string(path_to_txt, context)
html = render_to_string(path_to_html, context)

send_mail(s, txt, settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, ['[e-mail]'],
                 connection=connection, html_message=html)
