A Ruby gem for sending email with a simple, expressive API using a single command.
What is Pony?
Pony is a Ruby gem that provides a simple, expressive API for sending emails from Ruby applications. It solves the problem of email configuration complexity by allowing developers to send emails with a single command, similar to PHP's mail() function. It supports multiple transport methods, attachments, and custom headers while maintaining a minimalistic design.
Ruby developers who need a straightforward way to send emails without dealing with low-level configuration, particularly those building web applications, scripts, or services that require email functionality.
Developers choose Pony for its dead-simple API, zero boilerplate, and flexibility—it works out of the box with SMTP or Sendmail, supports attachments and custom headers, and integrates easily with testing frameworks.
