// @pdxiii a nodejs solution using koajs.
// If your new to nodejs you should checkout Koajs.
// You can avoid callbacks in koajs, which makes life alot easier
// if your using Express or other, solution would be similar just using callbacks

// not really an emberjs guy, couldn't give you the details on how to do 
// an HTTP Post but should be trivial to lookup

var koa         = require('koa'),
    route       = require('koa-router'),
    nodemailer  = require('nodemailer'),
    parse       = require('co-body'),
    thunkify    = require('thunkify'),
    app         = koa();

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: 'Gmail',
    auth: {
        user: '[email protected]',
        pass: 'userpass'
    }
});

// converts a function expecting a callback to a thunk so you can use
// JavaScript Generators.  Wouldn't be neccesary if it returned a promise
var sendMail = thunkify(transporter.sendMail);

app.use(route(app));

// route handler HTTP POST /email
app.post('/email', function *(){
    // grab posted data
    var email = yield parse(this);
    // object with info nodemailer is expecting
    var mailOptions = {
      from: email.from, 
      to: 'James <[email protected]>', 
      subject: 'Contact Form', 
      text: email.message 
    };
