2. Basic Usage - Synchronous Sending

import asyncio
from mailing2fast_fastapi import EmailSender, EmailMessage

async def main():
    sender = EmailSender()
    
    email = EmailMessage(
        to=["[e-mail]"],
        subject="Hello from mailing2fast!",
        body="This is a plain text email",
        html="<h1>This is an HTML email</h1>",
    )
    
    result = await sender.send_email(email)
    
    if result.is_success():
        print(f"Email sent! Message ID: {result.message_id}")
    else:
        print(f"Failed to send: {result.error}")

asyncio.run(main())

3. Async Queue Mode

import asyncio
from mailing2fast_fastapi import EmailQueue, EmailMessage, EmailWorker

async def main():
    # Start background worker
    worker = EmailWorker()
    await worker.start()
    
    # Queue emails (fire-and-forget)
    queue = EmailQueue()
    await queue.connect()
    
    email = EmailMessage(
        to=["[e-mail]"],
        subject="Queued Email",
        body="This email will be sent by the background worker",
    )
    
    await queue.enqueue(email)
    print("Email queued successfully!")
    
    # Worker will process it in the background
    # Keep worker running...
    await asyncio.sleep(60)
    
    await worker.stop()
    await queue.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

4. FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from mailing2fast_fastapi import (
    EmailMessage,
    EmailSender,
    EmailQueue,
    MailManager,
    get_email_sender,
    get_email_queue,
    get_mail_manager,
    startup_email_worker,
    shutdown_email_worker,
)

app = FastAPI()

# Start/stop worker with app lifecycle
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
    await startup_email_worker()

@app.on_event("shutdown")
async def shutdown():
    await shutdown_email_worker()

# Synchronous sending endpoint (default account)
@app.post("/send-email")
async def send_email(sender: EmailSender = Depends(get_email_sender)):
    email = EmailMessage(
        to=["[e-mail]"],
        subject="Welcome!",
        html="<h1>Welcome to our service!</h1>",
    )
    
    result = await sender.send_email(email)
    return {"status": result.status, "message_id": result.message_id}

# Async queue endpoint
@app.post("/queue-email")
async def queue_email(queue: EmailQueue = Depends(get_email_queue)):
    email = EmailMessage(
        to=["[e-mail]"],
        subject="Newsletter",
        html="<h1>Monthly Newsletter</h1>",
        smtp_account="support",  # Use specific account
    )
    
    await queue.enqueue(email)
    return {"status": "queued"}

# Using MailManager to access multiple accounts
@app.get("/accounts")
async def list_accounts(manager: MailManager = Depends(get_mail_manager)):
    return {
        "accounts": manager.list_accounts(),
        "default": manager.get_default_account()
    }

Multiple SMTP Accounts

Using MailManager (Recommended)

The MailManager provides centralized management of multiple SMTP accounts:

from mailing2fast_fastapi import get_manager, EmailMessage

# Get the manager singleton
manager = get_manager()

# List all configured accounts
accounts = manager.list_accounts()
print(f"Available accounts: {accounts}")

# Get sender for specific account
support_sender = manager.get_sender("support")
transactions_sender = manager.get_sender("transactions")

# Send email using specific sender
email = EmailMessage(
    to=["[e-mail]"],
    subject="Payment Confirmation",
    html="<h1>Payment received!</h1>",
)
result = await transactions_sender.send_email(email)

Using FastAPI Dependencies

from functools import partial
from fastapi import Depends
from mailing2fast_fastapi import get_email_sender, EmailSender

# Create dependency for specific account
get_support_sender = partial(get_email_sender, account_name="support")

@app.post("/send-support-email")
async def send_support_email(sender: EmailSender = Depends(get_support_sender)):
    email = EmailMessage(
        to=["[e-mail]"],
        subject="Support Response",
        html="<h1>We're here to help!</h1>",
    )
    result = await sender.send_email(email)
    return {"status": result.status}

Using smtp_account Parameter

email = EmailMessage(
    to=["[e-mail]"],
    subject="Payment Confirmation",
    html="<h1>Payment received!</h1>",
    smtp_account="transactions",  # Use transactions account
)

Templates

Create Jinja2 templates in templates/emails/:

templates/emails/welcome.html:

<h1>Welcome, {{ name }}!</h1>
<p>Thank you for joining {{ company_name }}.</p>

Usage:

email = EmailMessage(
    to=["[e-mail]"],
    subject="Welcome!",
    template_name="welcome.html",
    template_data={
        "name": "John Doe",
        "company_name": "Acme Corp"
    },
)

Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is enabled by default (100 emails/hour). Configure via environment variables:

MAIL_RATE_LIMIT__ENABLED=true
MAIL_RATE_LIMIT__MAX_EMAILS_PER_HOUR=100
MAIL_RATE_LIMIT__MAX_EMAILS_PER_MINUTE=10

Queue Management

Monitor queue status:

queue = EmailQueue()
await queue.connect()

stats = {
    "pending": await queue.get_queue_size(),
    "retry": await queue.get_retry_queue_size(),
    "failed": await queue.get_dlq_size(),
}
print(stats)
