A service for picking email content off a queue and sending it

Mercury

Mercury, the winged messenger

Mercury is a simple email delivery service that pulls pre-rendered email content (both plain and HTML) off an AMQP queue and delivers it via SMTP.

It expects a very simple JSON payload from the queue, where the email body is gzip compressed and base64 encoded. Here is a very simple example:

{
    "from": "[e-mail]",
    "to": "[e-mail]",
    "subject": "Hi :)",
    "html_body": "H4sIAAAAAAAE/wAPAPD/PGgxPkhlbGxvITwvaDE+AQAA//9WO9LMDwAAAA==",
    "text_body": "H4sIAAAAAAAE/wAGAPn/SGVsbG8hAQAA//9WzCqdBgAAAA=="
}
