// Package smtp implements the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol as defined in RFC 5321.
// It also implements the following extensions:
//
//	8BITMIME  RFC 1652
//	AUTH      RFC 2554
//	STARTTLS  RFC 3207
//
// Additional extensions may be handled by clients.
//
// The smtp package is frozen and is not accepting new features.
