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:

mailer := gomail.NewMailer("smtp.example.com", "user", "123456", 587, gomail.SetTLSConfig(&tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true}))

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

504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type

If you get this error, you should try using the LOGIN authentication mechanism:

addr := "smtp.example.com:587"
auth := gomail.LoginAuth("username", "password", "smtp.example.com")
mailer := gomail.NewCustomMailer(addr, auth)

See issue #16.

	QuotedPrintable Encoding = "quoted-printable"
	// Base64 represents the base64 encoding as defined in RFC 2045.
	Base64 Encoding = "base64"
	// Unencoded can be used to avoid encoding the body of an email. The headers
	// will still be encoded using quoted-printable encoding.
	Unencoded Encoding = "8bit"
)

type File
