Add nodemailer-sendgrid-transport to /packages

[thinkingserious]

Issue Summary

Please see issue sendgrid/nodemailer-sendgrid-transport#28

We want to upgrade that repo and bring it into this monorepo, then deprecate the old package.

Hi @thinkingserious
Can you please shed a little more light on what you hope to achieve? My understanding of this is we need to move the sendgrid-transport module here (/packages). Is it just that?
Thanks!

Hi @iifeoluwa,

We need to do what you describe and update the dependency to match the current version of this SDK.

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer

Alright, great! @thinkingserious

One more thing though. I was thinking you'd want to merge this PR first before we move the package over.

Moving the package here and recreating the PR might be problematic. What do you think?

Regards.

Hi @iifeoluwa,

That is a great PR, but it's not using the latest version of this SDK.

[iifeoluwa]

Alright then, I'll get on with it.

Thanks @thinkingserious

Hello @thinkingserious,

I'm sorry, I won't be able to take this on at the moment. I might get back to it when I have enough time to go through how nodemailer's transport plugin and the mail package API works.

I don't know enough about it right now and wouldn't want to make a mess of things. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Regards.

Nodemailer author here. Just FYI I created SendGrid transport module for Nodemailer that is fully compatible (or as much compatible as possible) with Nodemailer API and uses the "@sendgrid/mail" module under the hood to do the actual delivery. You can find the module here: https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-sendgrid

The main reason I created this module was to demonstrate how to use the internal normalize method available for transports. This method takes nodemailer message structure and converts it to a JSON compatible object that can be used by APIs like SendGrid (all attachments and such are normalized to base64 strings).

update I just realized that the repo was private, so if anyone clicked on the repo link, it probably was 404. Made the repo public.
