This example demonstrates how to use the mail API.

This module provides two different examples of the Backdrop email API:

  • Defines a simple contact form and shows how to use backdrop_mail() to send an e-mail (defined in hook_mail()) when the form is submitted.
  • Shows how modules can alter emails defined by other modules, using hook_mail_alter(), to attach a custom signature before they are sent.
