Learn how to send emails in golang with the standard Go library and gomail library using Gmail
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.

The gomail package you are referring to has not seen an update for 6 years and seems to be unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead, which is actively maintained and implements some additional features that are not found in the unmaintained one.

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.

Running a private mail server for six years, easy peasy
I run my own mail servers for small projects, though for my main email I've actually switched to ProtonMail.
It's never been easier to self host your email with projects like the following around:
- https://foxcpp.dev/maddy/
- https://github.com/albertito/chasquid
- https://github.com/haraka/haraka
Of course the usual dovecot + postfix setup is great for learning even if a bit complicated.
- Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one
- Modoboa – open-source email server
