In this tutorial I'm going to be demonstrating how you can send mail with Go(Lang) and the mailgun api. Thankfully, mailgun's API is fantastic and sending mail is incredibly easy once you've set everything up properly.

Requirements

Implementation

package main

import (
    "github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go"
)

func SendSimpleMessage(domain, apiKey string) (string, error) {
  mg := mailgun.NewMailgun("tutorialedge.net", apiKey, "key-12345671234567")
  m := mg.NewMessage(
    "Excited User <elliot@tutorialedge.net>",
    "Hello",
    "Testing some Mailgun!",
    "elliot@tutorialedge.net",
  )
  _, id, err := mg.Send(m)
  return id, err
}

func main(){
    SendSimpleMessage("postmaster@elliotforbes.co.uk", "key-12345671234567")

}
