go-smtp

An ESMTP client and server library written in Go.

Features

• ESMTP client & server implementing RFC 5321
• Support for SMTP AUTH and PIPELINING
• UTF-8 support for subject and message

Usage

Client

package main

import (
	"log"
	"strings"

	"github.com/emersion/go-sasl"
	"github.com/emersion/go-smtp"
)

func main() {
	// Set up authentication information.
	auth := sasl.NewPlainClient("", "[e-mail]", "password")

	// Connect to the server, authenticate, set the sender and recipient,
	// and send the email all in one step.
	to := []string{"[e-mail]"}
	msg := strings.NewReader("To: [e-mail]\r\n" +
		"Subject: discount Gophers!\r\n" +
		"\r\n" +
		"This is the email body.\r\n")
	err := smtp.SendMail("mail.example.com:25", auth, "[e-mail]", to, msg)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

If you need more control, you can use Client instead.

Server

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"

	"github.com/emersion/go-smtp"
)

type Backend struct{}

func (bkd *Backend) Login(username, password string) (smtp.User, error) {
	if username != "username" || password != "password" {
		return nil, errors.New("Invalid username or password")
	}
	return &User{}, nil
}

type User struct{}

func (u *User) Send(from string, to []string, r io.Reader) error {
	log.Println("Sending message:", from, to)

	if b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r); err != nil {
		return err
	} else {
		log.Println("Data:", string(b))
	}
	return nil
}

func (u *User) Logout() error {
	return nil
}

func main() {
	be := &Backend{}

	s := smtp.NewServer(be)

	s.Addr = ":1025"
	s.Domain = "localhost"
	s.MaxIdleSeconds = 300
	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:<[e-mail]>
RCPT TO:<[e-mail]>
DATA
