Gomail

Build Status Code Coverage Documentation

This is an actively maintained fork of Gomail and includes fixes and improvements for a number of outstanding issues. The current progress is as follows:

  • Timeouts and retries can be specified outside of the 10 second default.
  • Proxying is supported through specifying a custom NetDialTimeout.
  • Filenames are properly encoded for non-ASCII characters.
  • Email addresses are properly encoded for non-ASCII characters.
  • Embedded files and attachments are tested for their existence.
  • An io.Reader can be supplied when embedding and attaching files.

See Transitioning Existing Codebases for more information on switching.

Introduction

Gomail is a simple and efficient package to send emails. It is well tested and documented.

Gomail can only send emails using an SMTP server. But the API is flexible and it is easy to implement other methods for sending emails using a local Postfix, an API, etc.

It requires Go 1.2 or newer. With Go 1.5, no external dependencies are used.

Features

Gomail supports:

  • Attachments
  • Embedded images
  • HTML and text templates
  • Automatic encoding of special characters
  • SSL and TLS
  • Sending multiple emails with the same SMTP connection

Download

If you're already using a dependency manager, like dep, use the following import path:

github.com/go-mail/mail

If you aren't using vendoring, go get the Gopkg.in import path:

gopkg.in/mail.v2

Examples

See the examples in the documentation.

FAQ

x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

If you get this error it means the certificate used by the SMTP server is not considered valid by the client running Gomail. As a quick workaround you can bypass the verification of the server's certificate chain and host name by using SetTLSConfig:

package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"

	"gopkg.in/mail.v2"
)

func main() {
	d := mail.NewDialer("smtp.example.com", 587, "user", "123456")
	d.TLSConfig = &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true}

	// Send emails using d.
}

Note, however, that this is insecure and should not be used in production.

Transitioning Existing Codebases

If you're already using the original Gomail, switching is as easy as updating the import line to:

import gomail "gopkg.in/mail.v2"

Variables

var NetDialTimeout = net.DialTimeout

NetDialTimeout specifies the DialTimeout function to establish a connection to the SMTP server. This can be used to override dialing in the case that a proxy or other special behavior is needed.

Functions

func Send 

func Send(s Sender, msg ...*Message) error

Send sends emails using the given Sender.

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
	// TLSConfig represents the TLS configuration used for the TLS (when the
	// STARTTLS extension is used) or SSL connection.
	TLSConfig *tls.Config
	// StartTLSPolicy represents the TLS security level required to
	// communicate with the SMTP server.
	//
	// This defaults to OpportunisticStartTLS for backwards compatibility,
	// but we recommend MandatoryStartTLS for all modern SMTP servers.
	//
	// This option has no effect if SSL is set to true.
	StartTLSPolicy StartTLSPolicy
	// LocalName is the hostname sent to the SMTP server with the HELO command.
	// By default, "localhost" is sent.
	LocalName string
	// Timeout to use for read/write operations. Defaults to 10 seconds, can
	// be set to 0 to disable timeouts.
	Timeout time.Duration
	// Whether we should retry mailing if the connection returned an error,
	// defaults to true.
	RetryFailure bool
}

A Dialer is a dialer to an SMTP server.

func NewDialer 

func NewDialer(host string, port int, username, password string) *Dialer

NewDialer returns a new SMTP Dialer. The given parameters are used to connect to the SMTP server.

func NewPlainDialer deprecated 

func NewPlainDialer(host string, port int, username, password string) *Dialer

NewPlainDialer returns a new SMTP Dialer. The given parameters are used to connect to the SMTP server.

Deprecated: Use NewDialer instead.

func (*Dialer) Dial 

func (d *Dialer) Dial() (SendCloser, error)

Dial dials and authenticates to an SMTP server. The returned SendCloser should be closed when done using it.

	// 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 (m *Message) SetAddressHeader(field, address, name string)

SetAddressHeader sets an address to the given header field.

func SetPartEncoding 

func SetPartEncoding(e Encoding) PartSetting

SetPartEncoding sets the encoding of the part added to the message. By default, parts use the same encoding than the message.

type SendCloser 

type SendCloser interface {
	Sender
	Close() error
}

SendCloser is the interface that groups the Send and Close methods.

type SendFunc 

type SendFunc func(from string, to []string, msg io.WriterTo) error

A SendFunc is a function that sends emails to the given addresses.

The SendFunc type is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary functions as email senders. If f is a function with the appropriate signature, SendFunc(f) is a Sender object that calls f.

	// STARTTLS is supported by the SMTP server. Otherwise, messages are
	// sent in the clear. This is the default setting.
	OpportunisticStartTLS StartTLSPolicy = iota
	// MandatoryStartTLS means that SMTP transactions must be encrypted.
	// SMTP transactions are aborted unless STARTTLS is supported by the
