Overview ¶
Package gomail provides a simple interface to compose emails and to mail them efficiently.
More info on Github: https://github.com/go-gomail/gomail
Example ¶
package main import ( "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) func main() { m := gomail.NewMessage() m.SetHeader("From", "alex@example.com") m.SetHeader("To", "bob@example.com", "cora@example.com") m.SetAddressHeader("Cc", "dan@example.com", "Dan") m.SetHeader("Subject", "Hello!") m.SetBody("text/html", "Hello <b>Bob</b> and <i>Cora</i>!") m.Attach("/home/Alex/lolcat.jpg") d := gomail.NewDialer("smtp.example.com", 587, "user", "123456") // Send the email to Bob, Cora and Dan. if err := d.DialAndSend(m); err != nil { panic(err) } }
Output:
Example (Daemon) ¶
A daemon that listens to a channel and sends all incoming messages.
package main import ( "log" "time" "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) func main() { ch := make(chan *gomail.Message) go func() { d := gomail.NewDialer("smtp.example.com", 587, "user", "123456") var s gomail.SendCloser var err error open := false for { select { case m, ok := <-ch: if !ok { return } if !open { if s, err = d.Dial(); err != nil { panic(err) } open = true } if err := gomail.Send(s, m); err != nil { log.Print(err) } // Close the connection to the SMTP server if no email was sent in // the last 30 seconds. case <-time.After(30 * time.Second): if open { if err := s.Close(); err != nil { panic(err) } open = false } } } }() // Use the channel in your program to send emails. // Close the channel to stop the mail daemon. close(ch) }

Example (NoSMTP) ¶
Send an email using an API or postfix.
package main import ( "fmt" "io" "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) func main() { m := gomail.NewMessage() m.SetHeader("From", "from@example.com") m.SetHeader("To", "to@example.com") m.SetHeader("Subject", "Hello!") m.SetBody("text/plain", "Hello!") s := gomail.SendFunc(func(from string, to []string, msg io.WriterTo) error { // Implements you email-sending function, for example by calling // an API, or running postfix, etc. fmt.Println("From:", from) fmt.Println("To:", to) return nil }) if err := gomail.Send(s, m); err != nil { panic(err) } }
Output: From: from@example.com To: [to@example.com]

Functions ¶
Types ¶
type Dialer ¶
type Dialer struct { // Host represents the host of the SMTP server. Host string // Port represents the port of the SMTP server. Port int // Username is the username to use to authenticate to the SMTP server. Username string // Password is the password to use to authenticate to the SMTP server. Password string // Auth represents the authentication mechanism used to authenticate to the // SMTP server. Auth smtp.Auth // SSL defines whether an SSL connection is used. It should be false in // most cases since the authentication mechanism should use the STARTTLS // extension instead. SSL bool // TSLConfig represents the TLS configuration used for the TLS (when the // STARTTLS extension is used) or SSL connection. TLSConfig *tls.Config // LocalName is the hostname sent to the SMTP server with the HELO command. // By default, "localhost" is sent. LocalName string // contains filtered or unexported fields }
A Dialer is a dialer to an SMTP server.
func NewDialer ¶
NewDialer returns a new SMTP Dialer. The given parameters are used to connect to the SMTP server.
func NewPlainDialer
deprecated
func NewWithDialer ¶
NewWithDialer returns a new SMTP Dialer configured with the provided net.Dialer.
func (*Dialer) Dial ¶
func (d *Dialer) Dial() (SendCloser, error)

func (*Dialer) DialAndSend ¶
DialAndSend opens a connection to the SMTP server, sends the given emails and closes the connection.
type Encoding ¶
type Encoding string
Encoding represents a MIME encoding scheme like quoted-printable or base64.
const ( // QuotedPrintable represents the quoted-printable encoding as defined in // RFC 2045. QuotedPrintable Encoding = "quoted-printable" // Base64 represents the base64 encoding as defined in RFC 2045. Base64 Encoding = "base64" // Unencoded can be used to avoid encoding the body of an email. The headers // will still be encoded using quoted-printable encoding. Unencoded Encoding = "8bit" )
type FileSetting ¶
type FileSetting func(*file)
A FileSetting can be used as an argument in Message.Attach or Message.Embed.
func Rename ¶
func Rename(name string) FileSetting
Rename is a file setting to set the name of the attachment if the name is different than the filename on disk.
Example ¶
package main import ( "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) var m *gomail.Message func main() { m.Attach("/tmp/0000146.jpg", gomail.Rename("picture.jpg")) }
Output:
func SetCopyFunc ¶
func SetCopyFunc(f func(io.Writer) error) FileSetting
SetCopyFunc is a file setting to replace the function that runs when the message is sent. It should copy the content of the file to the io.Writer.
The default copy function opens the file with the given filename, and copy its content to the io.Writer.
Example ¶
package main import ( "io" "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) var m *gomail.Message func main() { m.Attach("foo.txt", gomail.SetCopyFunc(func(w io.Writer) error { _, err := w.Write([]byte("Content of foo.txt")) return err })) }
Output:
func SetHeader ¶
func SetHeader(h map[string][]string) FileSetting
SetHeader is a file setting to set the MIME header of the message part that contains the file content.
Mandatory headers are automatically added if they are not set when sending the email.
Example ¶
package main import ( "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) var m *gomail.Message func main() { h := map[string][]string{"Content-ID": {"<foo@bar.mail>"}} m.Attach("foo.jpg", gomail.SetHeader(h)) }

type Message ¶
type Message struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Message represents an email.
func NewMessage ¶
func NewMessage(settings ...MessageSetting) *Message
NewMessage creates a new message. It uses UTF-8 and quoted-printable encoding by default.
func (*Message) AddAlternative ¶
func (m *Message) AddAlternative(contentType, body string, settings ...PartSetting)
AddAlternative adds an alternative part to the message.
It is commonly used to send HTML emails that default to the plain text version for backward compatibility. AddAlternative appends the new part to the end of the message. So the plain text part should be added before the HTML part. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Alternative
Example ¶
package main import ( "github.com/Ctrl-Alt-D3feat/gomail" ) var m *gomail.Message func main() { m.SetBody("text/plain", "Hello!") m.AddAlternative("text/html", "<p>Hello!</p>") }
Output:
func (*Message) AddAlternativeWriter ¶
func (m *Message) AddAlternativeWriter(contentType string, f func(io.Writer) error, settings ...PartSetting)
