Go sendmail [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/meehow/sendmail.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/meehow/sendmail)

===========

This package implements classic, well known from PHP, method of sending emails.

It's stupid simple and it works not only with Sendmail,

but also with other MTAs, like [Postfix](http://www.postfix.org/sendmail.1.html)

or [sSMTP](https://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP), which provide compatibility interface.

* it separates email headers from email body,

* encodes UTF-8 headers like `Subject`, `From`, `To`

* makes it easy to use [text/template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template)

* doesn't require any SMTP configuration,

* just uses `/usr/sbin/sendmail` command which is present on most of the systems,

  * if not, just update `sendmail.Binary`

* outputs emails to _stdout_ when environment variable `DEBUG` is set.

Installation

------------

```

go get -u github.com/meehow/sendmail

```

Usage

-----

```go

package main

import (

	"io"

	"log"

	"net/mail"

	"github.com/meehow/sendmail"

)

func main() {

	sm := sendmail.Mail{

		Subject: "Cześć",

		From:    &mail.Address{"Michał", "me@example.com"},

		To: []*mail.Address{

			{"Ktoś", "info@example.com"},

			{"Ktoś2", "info2@example.com"},

		},

	}

	io.WriteString(&sm.Text, ":)\r\n")

	if err := sm.Send(); err != nil {

		log.Println(err)

	}

}

```

Instead of `io.WriteString`, you can [execute a template][template]:

[template]: https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#Template.Execute

```go

tpl := template.Must(template.New("email").Parse(`Hello {{.Name}}!`))

tpl.ExecuteTemplate(&sm.Text, "email", &struct{ Name string }{"Dominik"})

```

ToDo
