Use postmark to send emails instead of Flask-Mail

[jonathan-kosgei]

Hi, how would I override Flask-User's use of Flask-Mail to send emails and replace it with a custom module. I need to use Postmark's REST API and not it's SMTP offering.

I'm thinking I could use signals to hook into events such as user_changed.password etc and send an email to the user based on that. But how do I switch off Flask-User's use of Flask-Mail?

What if you set MAIL_SERVER to not.a.real.hostname? I understand that this isn't optimal. You could at least speed up the time to failure by adding an appropriate entry to /etc/hosts so you skip the needless DNS lookup.

The UserManager() initialization accepts a custom 'send_email_function' that can point to your custom function.

See emails.py,
def send_email(recipient, subject, html_message, text_message)
for an example implementation using SMTP.
