``
npm i mxmail
`

$3

`js
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 👻" ',
to: 'bar@example.com, baz@example.com',
subject: 'Hello ✔',
text: 'Are you ready?',
html: 'Are you ready?'
}

// 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:
`js
// 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>
`

Install the command line interface with:
`
npm i -g mxmail
`

Add a settings file in ~/.mxmail.json:
`json
{
"from": "vidar@example.com",
"config": {
"host": "smtp.ethereal.email",
"port": 587,
"auth": {
"user": "virginia.cassin10@ethereal.email",
"pass": "1md9Xes49Nbfka6aFw"
}
},
"aliases": {
"@sp": "suong@example.com"
}
}
`

Send email like this from the command line (terminal):
`
mx suong@example.com subject "This is the message"
`

Replace with aliases like this:
`
mx @sp subject "This is the message"
`

Send file attachments like this:
`
mx @ve "File" "Check this" ~/file.jpg
`

Using zsh alias:
`
alias file='mx @ve "" ""'
