## Features

Lettre provides the following features:

* Multiple transport methods
* Unicode support (for email content and addresses)
* Secure delivery with SMTP using encryption and authentication
* Easy email builders
* Async support

Lettre does not provide (for now):

* Email parsing

## Supported Rust Versions

Lettre supports all Rust versions released in the last 6 months. At the time of writing
the minimum supported Rust version is 1.74, but this could change at any time either from
one of our dependencies bumping their MSRV or by a new patch release of lettre.

## Example

This library requires Rust 1.74 or newer.
To use this library, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
lettre = "0.11"
```

```rust,no_run
use lettre::message::{Mailbox, header::ContentType};
use lettre::transport::smtp::authentication::Credentials;
use lettre::{Message, SmtpTransport, Transport};

fn main() {
    let email = Message::builder()
        .from(Mailbox::new(Some("NoBody".to_owned()), "nobody@domain.tld".parse().unwrap()))
        .reply_to(Mailbox::new(Some("Yuin".to_owned()), "yuin@domain.tld".parse().unwrap()))
        .to(Mailbox::new(Some("Hei".to_owned()), "hei@domain.tld".parse().unwrap()))
        .subject("Happy new year")
        .header(ContentType::TEXT_PLAIN)
        .body(String::from("Be happy!"))
        .unwrap();

    let creds = Credentials::new("smtp_username".to_owned(), "smtp_password".to_owned());

    // Open a remote connection to gmail
    let mailer = SmtpTransport::relay("smtp.gmail.com")
        .unwrap()
        .credentials(creds)
        .build();

    // Send the email
    match mailer.send(&email) {
        Ok(_) => println!("Email sent successfully!"),
        Err(e) => panic!("Could not send email: {e:?}"),
    }
}
```

## Not sure of which connect options to use?

Clone the lettre git repository and run the following command (replacing `SMTP_HOST` with your SMTP server's hostname)

```shell
cargo run --example autoconfigure SMTP_HOST
```

## Testing

The `lettre` tests require an open mail server listening locally on port 2525 and the `sendmail` command. If you have python installed
such a server can be launched with `python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer 127.0.0.1:2525`

Alternatively only unit tests can be run by doing `cargo test --lib`.

## Troubleshooting

These are general steps to be followed when troubleshooting SMTP related issues.

- Ensure basic connectivity, ensure requisite ports are open and daemons are listening.
- Confirm that your service provider allows traffic on the ports being used for mail transfer.
- Check SMTP relay authentication and configuration.
- Validate your DNS records. (DMARC, SPF, DKIM, MX)
- Verify your SSL/TLS certificates are setup properly.
- Investigate if filtering, formatting, or filesize limits are causing messages to be lost, delayed, or blocked by relays or remote hosts.
