Mailer Service

Generic service to send email. Encapsulates various implementations, currently :

• SMTP server connection
• SendMail call to sendmail on the command line
• SendGrid Call to Sendgrid API

Queue

TODO: a queue mechanism to avoid spamming mail server should be implemented to batch emails.

GRPC and REST Services

A grpc service is used internally by other services to send email, e.g. by the Activity Service when sending user alerts or user digests, or the Scheduler service to send jobs results to Administrator, etc.

A REST service is exposed to the frontend to allow direct communication between users.

Overview

Package mailer acts a central mail server for the application.

It implements various types of communication with actual mail servers (sendmail, smtp, sendgrid API) and a simple queue mechanism to avoid spamming these servers.
