Hi all,
This is brilliant Derick! While the current email feature only allows up to
10 emails to be sent on a wiki this option allows 12,000 emails and even
allows you to messages on your local wiki.
This is truly great and we have to celebrate your hard work. Folks there
are more relevant stuff to be done in the community. Find your niche and
hit it hard to make an impact.
Cheers,

Hello Everyone,
Hope we all are doing great? I wish to announce the beta release of
version 1.0 of the SendGrid MediaWiki extension[1] which enables MediaWiki
to send emails using the SendGrid API. I have been working on this
extension for some time now and finished up the first version last night :).
It's very simple to use and all you need is a valid SendGrid API key
(config in your LocalSettings.php file "wgSendGridAPIKey") and you are
done. In addition, this can be used also by user doing development locally
and wish to send emails from their local wiki. SendGrid offers 12,000
emails to its users for an unlimited time and this can come in handy when
you are not in deployment / production environment.
I wish members of the development community to try this extension out and
see how it works and give in their feedback. A work board for this project
/ extension has been has been requested [2] and will be up soon, but the
extension is okay for use :).
Extensions that perform a similar role are; Mailgun[3] & SwiftMailer[4].
We need more of this mailer extensions to have various varieties. :)
Thank you and hoping to get some feedback.
