HTML not yet supported, but send a PR!", + } + + err := msg.Send() + if err != nil { + fmt.Println(err) + } +} + +``` + +### Under the hood +`email` looks at a `Message`'s `To` field, splits the string on the @ symbol and +issues an MX lookup to find the mail exchange server(s). Then it iterates over +all the possibilities in combination with commonly used SMTP ports for non-SSL +clients: `25, 2525, & 587` + +It stops once it has an active client connected to a mail server and sends the +initial information, the message, and then closes the connection. + +Currently, this doesn't support any additional headers or `To` field formatting +(the recipient's email must be the only string `To` takes). Although these would +be fairly strightforward to implement, I don't need them yet.. so feel free to +contribute anything you find useful. + +#### Warning +Be cautious of how often you run this locally or in testing, as it's quite +likely your IP will be blocked/blacklisted if it is not already.
