This PR introduces the `SendError` type which implements the error interface. A new `senderror` field has been added to the `Msg` as well, so introduce this type to it. I've also added different error variables that indicate the different things that can go wrong during mail delivery. These variables can be checked for, for each `Msg` using the `errors.As` method The `Error()` method of `SendError` will return a detailed error string on why the `Msg` could not be delivered. Additionally, `HasSendError()` and `SendError()` methods have been added to `Msg`. While `HasSendError()` simply returns a bool in case a `Msg` failed during delivery, the `SendError()` will return the full `SendError` error interface. |

go-mail - Easy to use, yet comprehensive library for sending mails with Go
The main idea of this library was to provide a simple interface to sending mails for my JS-Mailer project. It quickly evolved into a full-fledged mail library.
go-mail follows idiomatic Go style and best practice. It's only dependency is the Go Standard Library. It combines a lot of functionality from the standard library to give easy and convenient access to mail and SMTP related tasks.
Parts of this library (especially some parts of msgwriter.go) have been forked/ported from the go-mail/mail respectively go-gomail/gomail which both seems to not be maintained anymore.
Features
Some of the features of this library:
- Only Standard Library dependant
- Modern, idiomatic Go
- Sane and secure defaults
- Explicit SSL/TLS support
- Implicit StartTLS support with different policies
- Makes use of contexts for a better control flow and timeout/cancelation handling
- SMTP Auth support (LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD)
- RFC5322 compliant mail address validation
- Support for common mail header field generation (Message-ID, Date, Bulk-Precedence, Priority, etc.)
- Reusing the same SMTP connection to send multiple mails
- Support for attachments and inline embeds (from file system,
io.Reader
orembed.FS
) - Support for different encodings
- Middleware support for 3rd-party libraries to alter mail messages
- Support sending mails via a local sendmail command
- Support for requestng MDNs (RFC 8098) and DSNs (RFC 1891)
- DKIM signature support via go-mail-middlware
- Message object satisfies
io.WriteTo
andio.Reader
interfaces - Support for Go's
html/template
andtext/template
(as message body, alternative part or attachment/emebed) - Output to file support which allows storing mail messages as e. g.
.eml
files to disk to open them in a MUA
go-mail works like a programatic email client and provides lots of methods and functionalities you would consider standard in a MUA.
Documentation
We aim for good GoDoc documenation in our library which gives you a full API reference. We also provide a more in-depth documentation website at go-mail.dev
Support
We have a support and general discussion channel on the Gophers Discord server. Find us at: #go-mail
Middleware
The goal of go-mail is to keep it free from 3rd party dependencies and only focus on things a mail library should
fulfill. Yet, since version v0.2.8 we've added support for middleware on the Msg
object, allowing 3rd parties to
alter a given mail message to their needs without relying on go-mail
to support their specific need.
To get our users started with message middleware, we've created a collection of useful middlewares. It can be found in a seperate repository: go-mail-middlware.
Examples
We provide example code in both our GoDocs as well as on our official Website (see Documentation). For a quick start into go-mail check out our Getting started guide.
