1// Package smtpclient is an SMTP client, for submitting to an SMTP server or
2// delivering from a queue.
4// Email clients can submit a message to SMTP server, after which the server is
5// responsible for delivery to the final destination. A submission client
6// typically connects with TLS, and PKIX-verifies the server's certificate. The
7// client then authenticates using a SASL mechanism.
9// Email servers manage a message queue, from which they will try to deliver
10// messages. In case of temporary failures, the message is kept in the queue and
11// tried again later. For delivery, no authentication is done. TLS is opportunistic
12// by default (TLS certificates not verified), but TLS and certificate verification
13// can be opted into by domains by specifying an MTA-STS policy for the domain, or
14// DANE TLSA records for their MX hosts.
16// Delivering a message from a queue would involve:
17// 1. Looking up an MTA-STS policy, through a cache.
18// 2. Resolving the MX targets for a domain, through smtpclient.GatherDestinations,
19// and for each destination try delivery through:
20// 3. Looking up IP addresses for the destination, with smtpclient.GatherIPs.
21// 4. Looking up TLSA records for DANE, in case of authentic DNS responses
22// (DNSSEC), with smtpclient.GatherTLSA.
23// 5. Dialing the MX target with smtpclient.Dial.
24// 6. Initializing a SMTP session with smtpclient.New, with proper TLS
25// configuration based on discovered MTA-STS and DANE policies, and finally calling
