# Email 


## Using a transactional email service
Add the following properties if you want to use a service like Mailgun, Sendgrid, or Mandrillapp 
as your SMTP server.

### Configuration 
#### Mandrill 
```
grails.mail.enabled=true
grails.mail.debug=true
grails.mail.from=<from-email>
grails.mail.host=smtp.mandrillapp.com
grails.mail.port=587
grails.mail.username=<username>
grails.mail.password=<password>
```

#### Sendgrid 
```
grails.mail.enabled=true
grails.mail.debug=true
grails.mail.from=<from-email>
grails.mail.host=smtp.sendgrid.net
grails.mail.port=587
grails.mail.username=<username>
grails.mail.password=<password>
```

#### Gmail
```
grails.mail.enabled=true
grails.mail.debug=true
grails.mail.from=<from-email>
grails.mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
grails.mail.port=465
grails.mail.username=<your-username>
grails.mail.password=<password-generated-from-google-accounts>
grails.mail.props=["mail.smtp.auth":"true", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"]
```
NOTE: I have not been able to able to get the Gmail configuration to work, but I'm sure someone with more time and intelligence will have no trouble figuring it out.


## Using local SMTP (not recommended)
