Lettre provides the following features:
- Multiple transport methods
- Unicode support (for email content and addresses)
- Secure delivery with SMTP using encryption and authentication
- Easy email builders
- Async support
Lettre does not provide (for now):
- Email parsing
Lettre supports all Rust versions released in the last 6 months. At the time of writing the minimum supported Rust version is 1.70, but this could change at any time either from one of our dependencies bumping their MSRV or by a new patch release of lettre.
This library requires Rust 1.70 or newer.
To use this library, add the following to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
lettre = "0.11"use lettre::message::header::ContentType;
use lettre::transport::smtp::authentication::Credentials;
use lettre::{Message, SmtpTransport, Transport};
let email = Message::builder()
.from("NoBody <[email protected]>".parse().unwrap())
.reply_to("Yuin <[email protected]>".parse().unwrap())
.to("Hei <[email protected]>".parse().unwrap())
.subject("Happy new year")
.header(ContentType::TEXT_PLAIN)
.body(String::from("Be happy!"))
.unwrap();
let creds = Credentials::new("smtp_username".to_owned(), "smtp_password".to_owned());
// Open a remote connection to gmail
let mailer = SmtpTransport::relay("smtp.gmail.com")
.unwrap()
.credentials(creds)
.build();
// Send the email
match mailer.send(&email) {
Ok(_) => println!("Email sent successfully!"),
Err(e) => panic!("Could not send email: {e:?}"),
}Clone the lettre git repository and run the following command (replacing SMTP_HOST with your SMTP server's hostname)
cargo run --example autoconfigure SMTP_HOSTThe lettre tests require an open mail server listening locally on port 2525 and the sendmail command. If you have python installed
such a server can be launched with python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer 127.0.0.1:2525
Alternatively only unit tests can be run by doing cargo test --lib.
These are general steps to be followed when troubleshooting SMTP related issues.
- Ensure basic connectivity, ensure requisite ports are open and daemons are listening.
- Confirm that your service provider allows traffic on the ports being used for mail transfer.
- Check SMTP relay authentication and configuration.
- Validate your DNS records. (DMARC, SPF, DKIM, MX)
- Verify your SSL/TLS certificates are setup properly.
- Investigate if filtering, formatting, or filesize limits are causing messages to be lost, delayed, or blocked by relays or remote hosts.
