PlainAuth returns an Auth that implements the PLAIN authentication mechanism as defined in RFC 4616. The returned Auth uses the given username and password to authenticate to host and act as identity. Usually identity should be the empty string, to act as username.

Go

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/smtp"
)

func main() {
	// hostname is used by PlainAuth to validate the TLS certificate.
	hostname := "mail.example.com"
	auth := smtp.PlainAuth("", "user@example.com", "password", hostname)

	err := smtp.SendMail(hostname+":25", auth, from, recipients, msg)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
