 An ESMTP client and server library written in Go.
 Features• ESMTP client & server implementing RFC 5321
 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321)• Support for SMTP
 AUTH (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4954) and PIPELINING
 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2920)• UTF-8 support for subject and
 message• LMTP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2033) supportUsageClient
 ```go package main
 .
 import (
     "log" "strings"
 "github.com/emersion/go-sasl" "github.com/emersion/go-smtp"
 .
 )
 .
 func main() {
     // Set up authentication information.  auth := sasl.NewPlainClient("",
     "u...@example.com", "password")
 // Connect to the server, authenticate, set the sender and
 recipient, // and send the email all in one step.  to :=
 []string{"recipi...@example.net"} msg := strings.NewReader("To:
 recipi...@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, "sen...@example.org",
 to, msg) if err != nil {
     log.Fatal(err)
 }
 .
 } ```
 .
 If you need more control, you can use Client instead.  Server ```go
 package main
 .
 import (
     "errors" "io" "io/ioutil" "log" "time"
 "github.com/emersion/go-smtp"
 .
 )
 .
 // The Backend implements SMTP server methods.  type Backend struct{}
 .
 // Login handles a login command with username and password.  func (bkd
 *Backend) Login(state *smtp.ConnectionState, username, password string)
 (smtp.Session, error) {
     if username != "username" || password != "password" {
         return nil, errors.New("Invalid username or password")
     } return &Session{}, nil
 }
 .
 // AnonymousLogin requires clients to authenticate using SMTP AUTH
 before sending emails func (bkd *Backend) AnonymousLogin(state
 *smtp.ConnectionState) (smtp.Session, error) {
     return nil, smtp.ErrAuthRequired
 }
 .
 // A Session is returned after successful login.  type Session struct{}
 .
 func (s *Session) Mail(from string, opts smtp.MailOptions) error {
     log.Println("Mail from:", from) return nil
 }
 .
 func (s *Session) Rcpt(to string) error {
     log.Println("Rcpt to:", to) return nil
 }
 .
 func (s *Session) Data(r io.Reader) error {
     if b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r); err != nil {
         return err
     } else {
         log.Println("Data:", string(b))
     } return nil
 }
 .
 func (s *Session) Reset() {}
 .
 func (s *Session) Logout() error {
     return nil
 }
 .
 func main() {
     be := &Backend{}
 s := smtp.NewServer(be)
 .
 s.Addr = ":1025" s.Domain = "localhost" s.ReadTimeout = 10 * time.Second
 s.WriteTimeout = 10 * time.Second s.MaxMessageBytes = 1024 * 1024
 s.MaxRecipients = 50 s.AllowInsecureAuth = true
 .
 log.Println("Starting server at", s.Addr) if err := s.ListenAndServe();
 err != nil {
     log.Fatal(err)
 }
 .
 } ```
 .
 You can use the server manually with telnet:
 .
 $ telnet localhost 1025 EHLO localhost AUTH PLAIN AHVzZXJuYW1lAHBhc3N3b3Jk
 MAIL FROM:<r...@nsa.gov> RCPT TO:<r...@gchq.gov.uk> DATA Hey <3 .
 .
 Relationship with net/smtp The Go standard library provides a SMTP client
 implementation in net/smtp.  However net/smtp is frozen: it's not getting
 any new features. go-smtp provides a server implementation and a number
 of client improvements.
