# Go Simple Mail
The best way to send emails in Go with SMTP Keep Alive and Timeout for Connect and Send.
# IMPORTANT
Examples in this README are for v2.2.0 and above. Examples for older versions
can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/xhit/54516917473420a8db1b6fff68a21c99).
Go 1.13+ is required.
Breaking change in 2.2.0: The signature of `SetBody` and `AddAlternative` used
to accept strings ("text/html" and "text/plain") and not require on of the
`contentType` constants (`TextHTML` or `TextPlain`). Upgrading, while not
quite following semantic versioning, is quite simple:
```diff
email := mail.NewMSG()
- email.SetBody("text/html", htmlBody)
- email.AddAlternative("text/plain", plainBody)
+ email.SetBody(mail.TextHTML, htmlBody)
+ email.AddAlternative(mail.TextPlain, plainBody)
```
# Introduction
Go Simple Mail is a simple and efficient package to send emails. It is well tested and
documented.
Go Simple Mail 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.
This package contains (and is based on) two packages by **Joe Grasse**:
- https://github.com/joegrasse/mail (unmaintained since Jun 29, 2018), and
- https://github.com/joegrasse/mime (unmaintained since Oct 1, 2015).
A lot of changes in Go Simple Mail were sent with not response.
## Features

- Multiple Attachments from bytes (since v2.6.0)
- Inline attachments from file, base64 and bytes (bytes since v2.6.0)

## Documentation
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/xhit/go-simple-mail/v2?tab=doc
Note 1: by default duplicated recipients throws an error, from `v2.13.0` you can use `email.AllowDuplicateAddress = true` to avoid the check.
Note 2: by default Bcc header is not set in email. From `v2.14.0` you can use `email.AddBccToHeader = true` to add this.
Note 3: by default all addresses are validated against RFC5322. Setting `email.UseProvidedAddress = true` skips this validation, but requires you to ensure a valid address is sent.

# Send with custom connection
It's possible to use a custom connection with custom dieler, like a dialer that uses a proxy server, etc...
With this, these servers params are ignored: `Host`, `Port`. You have total control of the connection.
Example using a conn for proxy:
```go
package main
import (
"crypto/tls"
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
mail "github.com/xhit/go-simple-mail/v2"
"golang.org/x/net/proxy"
)
func main() {
server := mail.NewSMTPClient()
host := "smtp.example.com"
port := 587
proxyAddr := "proxy.server"
conn, err := getCustomConnWithProxy(proxyAddr, host, port)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
server.Username = "[email protected]"
server.Password = "examplepass"
server.Encryption = mail.EncryptionSTARTTLS
server.CustomConn = conn
smtpClient, err := server.Connect()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
email := mail.NewMSG()
err = email.SetFrom("From Example ").AddTo("[email protected]").Send(smtpClient)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
func getCustomConnWithProxy(proxyAddr, host string, port int) (net.Conn, error) {
dial, err := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", proxyAddr, nil, proxy.Direct)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
dialer, err := dial.Dial("tcp", fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", host, port))
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
conf := &tls.Config{ServerName: host}
conn := tls.Client(dialer, conf)
return conn, nil
}
```
