Mxmail
Send mail directly to mail exchange servers or SMTP. Based on nodemailer.

const mxmail = require('mxmail')
// If config is defined, mx lookup is skipped
const config = {
host: 'smtp.ethereal.email',
port: 587,
auth: {
user: 'virginia.cassin10@ethereal.email',
pass: '1md9Xes49Nbfka6aFw'

const mailer = mxmail(config)
// Set up mail
const mail = {
from: '"Fred Foo 👻" <foo@example.com>',
to: 'bar@example.com, baz@example.com',
subject: 'Hello ✔',
text: 'Are you ready?',
html: '<b>Are you ready?</b>'
}
// Will lookup mx records automatically for each email in 'to'
const result = await mailer(mail)If you need a valid message ID, there is a generator function included:
// Using the hostname of your computer
const id = mxmail.id()
// Using the domain you pass
const id = mxmail.id('example.com')
// Will return similar to:
// <223d0b02-e987-2647-e30c-b71070a587ce@example.com>Command line
