I need to send emails from my web application (account creation, password reset, etc.). This application is likely to be hosted on a standard hosting site (or perhaps on Amazon EC2), and not on Google App Engine.
However, I like the ease of use for sending emails through the App Engine. Is there a way to host your application elsewhere, but use the App Engine to send emails automatically? I assume that I can send a web request from my application to a special application in App Engine, parse the request, and then send an email from App Engine.
However, I would like to avoid creating the application in App Engine, even if it is very simple, as this will be another element for support. Is there an easier way to just use App Engine as an email gateway, similar to using Google Apps for my domain?
I do not need to receive email from the application. In addition, I would like all emails to come from the same domain (for example, mail@example.com ), regardless of whether they were sent from a hosted application or to App Engine.
