email Package

The email package supports ITRS Geneos specific EMail parameters as documented in the official libemail🔗 but with additional support for TLS and Basic Authentication.

This package duplicates the original functionality in the cordial libemail library but for more general use.

The Dial method accepts a config object and returns a mail.Dialer or an error.

The new parameters, which are case-insensitive, are:

• _smtp_username - no default

  If set then authentication is attempted. The authentication methods supported are those supported by the Go net/smtp package.

• _smtp_password - no default

  The password is only used if _smtp_username is defined. It should be stored encrypted using the "expandable" format created using geneos aes password program

• _smtp_tls - default default

  Can be one of default, force or none (case insensitive). default is to try TLS but fall back to plain text depending on the SMTP server. force require TLS or will fail while none does not try to establish a secure session and may be rejected by modern mail servers.
