Send emails in go through Exim (without smtp)?

问题

I'm currently using "gopkg.in/gomail.v2" to send email with following code found here

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "fmt"

    "gopkg.in/gomail.v2"
)

func main() {
    m := gomail.NewMessage()

    m.SetHeader("From", "me@example.com")
    m.SetHeader("To", "you@example.com")

    m.SetAddressHeader("Bcc", "youbcc@example.com", "Bcc Email")

    m.SetHeader("Bcc", "anotherbcc@example.com", "yetbcc@example.com")

    m.SetHeader("Reply-To", "me@example.com")
    m.SetHeader("Subject", "Subject is to gomail to be discussed")
    body := `Why is bcc not getting populated`
    m.SetBody("text/html", body)

    sendMailViaExim(m)

}
func sendMailViaExim(m *gomail.Message) (err error) {
    cmd := exec.Command("/usr/sbin/exim", "-t")
    cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
    cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr

    pw, err := cmd.StdinPipe()
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
        return
    }

    err = cmd.Start()
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
        return
    }

    var errs [3]error
    _, errs[0] = m.WriteTo(pw)
    errs[1] = pw.Close()
    errs[2] = cmd.Wait()
    for _, err = range errs {
        if err != nil {
            log.Println(err)
            return
        }
    }
    return
}

The Above code doesn't send to Bcc emails;

So I logged the info that was being passed to exim -t via following code:

buf := new(bytes.Buffer)

m.WriteTo(buf) //should write entire msg with bcc?

fmt.Println(buf.String())

and the console logged :

$ go run main.go
Mime-Version: 1.0

Reply-To: me@example.com

Why is bcc not getting populated

bcc is not getting to the exim -t How do I achieve that without using smtp.

回答1:

I think it's this (and here is the changelog entry for it).

Still, the logic fixed by the commit above should only apply to actually sending messages—that is, when the package actually speaks with an SMTP server (because, naturally, Bcc should not be forwarded past the first MTA processing the message (maybe even the first MDA—I'm lazy to read the RFC)).

The commit being discussed refers to this part of a relevant RFC which actually offers three different ways to handle Bcc header fields. So I have no idea whether to actually blame the package author for this change or not.

Yet still, this looks like stripping the Bcc header away even for the Message.WriteTo method, which, IMO, is a mistake. The reason I think this is a mistake is as follows:

When the package sends a message via SMTP it works as an MTA or an MDA and should obey the rules defined by the relevant RFCs for these types of mail agents.
When it merely streams the message to an MDA (Exim in your case), it works as a pure client, and processing of the Bcc header fields is clearly not its business—it rather should be delegated to the first "real" mail processing agent.

The only relevant issue/pull-request I was able to find is this but it looks like the code was highly refactored after its inclusion so I have no idea whether it introduced what I supposed is a bug or not.

回答2:

The problem is caused by the -t option you pass to exim. From the docs:

7. The Bcc: header line

If Exim is called with the -t option, to take recipient addresses from a message’s header, it removes any Bcc: header line that may exist (after extracting its addresses). If -t is not present on the command line, any existing Bcc: is not removed.
