Introduction
------------


Usage
-----

We're currently working on the documentation of this component that was just
added to Symfony. We'll publish it in a few days.
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Mailer;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport\Smtp\SmtpTransport;

$transport = new SmtpTransport('localhost');
$mailer = new Mailer($transport);
$mailer->send($email);

Refer :doc:`Mime component </components/mime>` how to create `$email` object.


Transport
---------

By default, the only transport available in the mailer component is Smtp.
Below is the list of other popular providers with built in support.
- Amazon SES : symfony/amazon-mailer
- Google Gmail : symfony/google-mailer
- Mandrill : symfony/mailchimp-mailer
- Mailgun : symfony/mailgun-mailer
- Postmark : symfony/postmark-mailer
- Sendgrid : symfony/sendgrid-mailer

For example to use google's gmail as a transport you need to install symfony/google-mailer.

.. code-block:: terminal

$ composer require symfony/google-mailer

.. include:: /components/require_autoload.rst.inc


use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Bridge\Google\Smtp\GmailTransport;

$transport = new GmailTransport('user', 'pass');
$transport->send($email);

Use a Dsn
---------

The mailer component provides a convenient way to create transport object from dsn string.

New line break after this

- smtp://user:pass@gmail
- smtp://key@sendgrid
- smtp://null
- smtp://user:pass@mailgun
- http://key:domain@mailgun
- api://id@postmark

This provides a unified behaviour across all providers.
Easily switch from SMTP in dev to a "real" provider in production with same API.

Failover transport
------------------

You can create failover transport with the help of `||` operator.

Remove this


$dsn = 'api://id@postmark || smtp://key@sendgrid';

So if it fails at one transport, the mailer will attempt to send through the other transport.

If you want to send mails via multiple transports, you can use the `&&` operator between the transports.

Even better, link to the docs of the component via :doc:.....

By default, `$bus` is null and if it is not configured, mailer is always using sync functionality.
And async when `$bus` is configured for EnvelopedMessage.

.. code-block:: terminal

$ composer require symfony/messenger

.. include:: /components/require_autoload.rst.inc

use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Mailer;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\MessageHandler;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\SmtpEnvelope;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport;
use Symfony\Component\Messenger\Handler\HandlersLocator;
use Symfony\Component\Messenger\MessageBus;
use Symfony\Component\Messenger\Middleware\HandleMessageMiddleware;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Address;

// .. $dsn = 'smtp://null';
$transport = Transport::fromDsn($dsn);
$handler = new MessageHandler($transport);

$bus = new MessageBus([
new HandleMessageMiddleware(new HandlersLocator([
SendEmailMessage::class => ['message_hander' => $handler],
])),
]);

$mailer = new Mailer($transport, $bus);

$mailer->send($email, new SmtpEnvelope(
new Address('sender@example.com'),
[
new Address('recepient@example.com'),
]
));
