00:00:01,410 --> 00:00:06,720

So this is just a quick note about sending mail once you've deployed the application to the live server,



2

00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:12,710

unless you have mail hogge installed on that server, mail is not going to go anywhere.



3

00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:19,530

And that's because here in the send mail go file, which is in the command web folder, under this function,



4

00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:24,480

send message, we've hardcoded, coded our server, host our server port, all those things.



5

00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:29,490

And if you actually want to send live mail, you're going to have to change those values.



6

00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,200

Now you can if you wish, and it's appropriate for your circumstances, actually hard, cold, that



7

00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:36,750

hard coded information right.



8

00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:42,450

In this function, it's probably a better idea just to add a couple of command line parameters and you're



9

00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:50,070

probably going to need the mail host the mail port, whether or not it uses SSL, that sort of thing,



10

00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:54,300

all the things necessary to send email using whatever your email server is.



11

00:00:54,690 --> 00:00:59,970

Now, I'm not going to do that just because well, I don't have any idea what your mail server, your



12

00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:01,470

outgoing mail server might be.



13

00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,460

I tend to use mail gun, dot com or just because it's a really good service and it's very, very inexpensive.



14

00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:12,390

I can send 10000 messages a month for less than five dollars.



15

00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:17,640

But whatever your settings might be, you can either hardcoded them in here or I think a better approach



16

00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,560

would be to just add some command line flags to your application and pick up that information at the



17

00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,350

point that you start your application.



18

00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:26,460

That's entirely up to you.
