I managed to get Postal delivery working with Mandrill, still use of templates with formatting v helpful. Mailer and Postal have a slight problem on recognizing the meta info for smtp auth.
So with some fiddling figured out how to merge Clostache into Postal for html templates with dynamic vars as follows: dependencies: [com.draines/postal "1.11.1"] [de.ubercode.clostache/clostache "1.3.1"] (:use clostache.parser) (:require [postal.core :as postal] (postal/send-message ^{:host "smtp.mandrillapp.com" :user "your mandrill acct email address" :pass "your mandrill api key" :port 587} {:type "text/html" :from "from email address" :to "to email address" :subject (render "Hi from {{firstname}}" {:firstname (session/get :firstname)}) :body [{:type "text/html; charset=utf-8" :content (render-resource "email/templates/hello.html.mustache" {:name "Uncle Scooby" :memberid (session/get :member-id)}) }] }) The hello.html.mustache template file: Hello {{name}},<br /><br /> My member id is: {{memberid}}<br /><br /> Best,<br /> Scrappy Doo. The template path root is the app src folder. So your app/src/email/templates/hello.html.mustache So this works but the use of Clostache still seems a bit boilerplatish. Does anyone know of a more elegant option if possible. Thank you for the other tips, will try out the native java and the other Mandrill code option, see which is the best overall approach long term. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
