[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/go-gomail/gomail.svg?branch=v2-unstable)](https://travis-ci.org/go-gomail/gomail) [![Code Coverage](http://gocover.io/_badge/gopkg.in/gomail.v2-unstable)](http://gocover.io/gopkg.in/gomail.v2-unstable) [![Documentation](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/gomail.v2-unstable?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/gomail.v2-unstable)

## Introduction

Gomail is a simple and efficient package to send emails. It is well tested and
documented.

It is versioned using [gopkg.in](https://gopkg.in) so I promise
they will never be backward incompatible changes within each version.

It requires Go 1.2 or newer.


## Features

Gomail supports:
- Attachments
- Embedded images
- HTML and text templates
- Automatic encoding of special characters
- SSL and TLS
- Sending multiple emails with the same SMTP connection
- Any method to send emails: SMTP, postfix (not included but easily doable), etc


## Documentation

## Download

## Examples

See the [examples in the documentation](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/gomail.v2-unstable#example-package).


## FAQ

### x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

If you get this error it means the certificate used by the SMTP server is not
considered valid by the client running Gomail. As a quick workaround you can
bypass the verification of the server's certificate chain and host name by using
`SetTLSConfig`:

    d := gomail.NewPlainDialer("smtp.example.com", "user", "123456", 587)
    d.TLSConfig = &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true}

Note, however, that this is insecure and should not be used in production.

## Support

If you want to support the development of Gomail, I gladly accept donations.

I will give 100% of the money I receive to
[Enfants, Espoir Du Monde](http://www.eedm.fr/).
EEDM is a French NGO which helps children in Bangladesh, Cameroun, Haiti, India

As an added bonus, your donations will also tip me by lowering my taxes :smile:

I will send an email with the receipt of the donation to EEDM annually to all
