When calling Client.hello(), and the smtp server returns a failure code (this can be reproduced via postfix smtp-sink and a flag of -r HELO,EHLO) another attempt at a Hello is not possible.
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/smtp/smtp.go#L75 shows that the didHello flag is set before the HELO command actually takes place, so even a failure still results in didHello = true Calling a second Hello() after the first one failed results in an error: "smtp: Hello called after other methods" But because the first Hello() failed, I expected to be able to make a second attempt. As is, I have to close the connection and open a new one in order to reattempt. Is this standard SMTP behavior? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
