title: Using service layer in Repository Pattern for "Standard" business logic / Utility methods?
body: <p>I am using a standard repository pattern with a service layer which calls the data layer..</p>
  
  <p>I have some Utility classes i.e. one that deals with Sending email (method name = SendMail)</p>
  
  <p>Where is the correct place to put this?</p>
  
  <p>Inside the service layer as a method called SendMail</p>
  
  <p>hence I have CustomerService which calls CustomerRepository</p>
  
  <p>So in this case i create a new UtilityService which will hold all the business logic for utility classes i.e. Sendmail</p>
  
  <p>Little bit confused where i should put these</p>
  
  <p>Any help really appreciated</p>
