Sending is not the tricky part, implementing it right is probably another story.

I wouldn't call it massive overkill. REST is extremely simple as well. You have to make an request anyways so it's just a question of preference how you connect to that the email sending service.

Do you implement your own HTTP communication every time you need it or do you use a library?

Just as for HTTP there are many good libraries for SMTP communication that you can easily use. No need to roll your own.

You're running a web server to emulate telnet. It's a massive overkill.
