The used [gopkg.in/mail.v2](gopkg.in/mail.v2) package hasn't seen an update in 4 years and seems unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead.
- Latest go-mail release provides much better delivery error handling.

Sending (form-)mails from static websites with Go
Due to the above mentioned reasons and the lack of proper alternatives decided to write my own Go mail library. On a long weekend I started working on wneessen/go-mail and in the night of Sunday I had a kind of working prototype and I implemented it with js-mailer.

Ah the famous [email protected] email addresses we used to use in our test scripts to avoid sending email to anyone by accident. If we need to test the contents of the email then we use Mailhog these days. Can’t recommend it enough.

Preview emails with letter_opener, MailCatcher and MailHog
hey HN, I recently published an article going deep into email previewing (in Ruby on Rails, but I think it's relevant beyond Rails).
MailCatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) and MailHog (https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) are super handy and easy to run locally. Both spin up an SMTP server which you can direct mail to, and give you a nice web interface to browse mail and preview it.
Happy to answer any question! thanks, harrison
