An ESMTP client and server library written in Go.
- ESMTP client & server implementing RFC 5321
- Support for SMTP AUTH and PIPELINING
- UTF-8 support for subject and message
- LMTP support
package main
import (
"log"
"strings"
"github.com/emersion/go-sasl"

)
func main() {
// Set up authentication information.
auth := sasl.NewPlainClient("", "user@example.com", "password")
// Connect to the server, authenticate, set the sender and recipient,
// and send the email all in one step.
to := []string{"recipient@example.net"}
msg := strings.NewReader("To: recipient@example.net\r\n" +
"Subject: discount Gophers!\r\n" +
"\r\n" +
"This is the email body.\r\n")
err := smtp.SendMail("mail.example.com:25", auth, "sender@example.org", to, msg)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}If you need more control, you can use Client instead.

log.Println("Starting server at", s.Addr)

log.Fatal(err)
}
}You can use the server manually with telnet:
$ telnet localhost 1025
EHLO localhost
