Hedwig is a Swift package providing high-level APIs for sending email through any SMTP server, supporting plain, SSL, and STARTTLS connections. It offers authentication methods, HTML bodies, attachments, and queued non-blocking mail sending, cross-platform via Swift Package Manager.

Use cases

  • send email from a swift server app
  • send emails via smtp with ssl or starttls
  • send html emails with attachments in swift
  • authenticate with smtp using cram-md5 or xoauth2
  • queue outgoing emails without blocking the app
  • send mail from swift on linux

When to choose

  • you are building a server-side Swift app that needs to send email
  • you need cross-platform (macOS/Linux) SMTP support in Swift
  • you want queued or concurrent non-blocking email sending

When to avoid

  • you need to receive or parse incoming email rather than send it
  • your project is not written in Swift
  • you need a full email service with templates and analytics rather than an SMTP client
