# Expose 'send email'-API?

 * background:
    My (wordpress) site is hosted by a serverprovider that allows __internal__
   server scripts to send emails freely (via a smtp server _without_ authentication
   or restrictions). This allows me to send “generated” emails from [noreply@mydomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/expose-send-email-api/noreply@mydomain.com?output_format=md),
   without actually having an email account to that address.
 * From outside the hosting company’s server park, one can only access another SMTP
   server, which has authentication, and restricts access AND email headers to support
   only _real_ email account’s.
 * Recently I’ve developed an application that needs to send generated emails as
   part of the signup flow, this app is written in node.js and hosted elsewhere,
   but needs to send emails from [noreply@mydomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/expose-send-email-api/noreply@mydomain.com?output_format=md).
 * Feature-request:
    If postman exposed a custom API for actually sending emails
   VIA wordpress, my node-app could deliver the email to be sent via HTTP to my 
   wordpress site. The site would then be able to send it using my server providers
   internal SMTP server, effectively bypassing the restrictions imposed on the “
   public” SMTP server.
