smtp.Auth
// Auth is implemented by an SMTP authentication mechanism.
type Auth interface {
// Start begins an authentication with a server.
// It returns the name of the authentication protocol
// and optionally data to include in the initial AUTH message
// sent to the server.
// If it returns a non-nil error, the SMTP client aborts
// the authentication attempt and closes the connection.
Start(server *ServerInfo) (proto string, toServer []byte, err error)
// Next continues the authentication. The server has just sent
// the fromServer data. If more is true, the server expects a
// response, which Next should return as toServer; otherwise
// Next should return toServer == nil.
// If Next returns a non-nil error, the SMTP client aborts
// the authentication attempt and closes the connection.

smtp.CRAMMD5Auth
// CRAMMD5Auth returns an Auth that implements the CRAM-MD5 authentication
// mechanism as defined in RFC 2195.
// The returned Auth uses the given username and secret to authenticate
// to the server using the challenge-response mechanism.
func CRAMMD5Auth(username string, secret string) Auth
smtp.Dial
// Dial returns a new Client connected to an SMTP server at addr.
// The addr must include a port, as in "mail.example.com:smtp".
func Dial(addr string) (*Client, error)
smtp.NewClient
// NewClient returns a new Client using an existing connection and host as a
// server name to be used when authenticating.
func NewClient(conn net.Conn, host string) (*Client, error)
smtp.PlainAuth
// PlainAuth returns an Auth that implements the PLAIN authentication
// mechanism as defined in RFC 4616. The returned Auth uses the given
// username and password to authenticate to host and act as identity.
// Usually identity should be the empty string, to act as username.
//
// PlainAuth will only send the credentials if the connection is using TLS
// or is connected to localhost. Otherwise authentication will fail with an
// error, without sending the credentials.
func PlainAuth(identity string, username string, password string, host string) Auth
smtp.SendMail
// SendMail connects to the server at addr, switches to TLS if
// possible, authenticates with the optional mechanism a if possible,
// and then sends an email from address from, to addresses to, with
// message msg.
// The addr must include a port, as in "mail.example.com:smtp".
//
// The addresses in the to parameter are the SMTP RCPT addresses.
//
// The msg parameter should be an RFC 822-style email with headers
// first, a blank line, and then the message body. The lines of msg
// should be CRLF terminated. The msg headers should usually include
// fields such as "From", "To", "Subject", and "Cc". Sending "Bcc"
// messages is accomplished by including an email address in the to
// parameter but not including it in the msg headers.
//
// The SendMail function and the net/smtp package are low-level
// mechanisms and provide no support for DKIM signing, MIME
// attachments (see the mime/multipart package), or other mail
// functionality. Higher-level packages exist outside of the standard
// library.
func SendMail(addr string, a Auth, from string, to []string, msg []byte) error
