Core.Mailing.MailKit

MailKit-based SMTP implementation of IMailService. Includes DKIM signing support.

Installation

// Program.cs
builder.Services.Configure<MailSettings>(config.GetSection("MailSettings"));
builder.Services.AddTransient<IMailService, MailKitMailService>();

DKIM Signing

DKIM verifies that the emails sent genuinely originate from the domain. It helps avoid getting caught by spam filters.

{
  "MailSettings": {
    "DkimPrivateKey": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
    "DkimSelector": "mail",
    "DomainName": "myapp.com"
  }
}

If the DKIM information is left empty, signing is skipped.

SMTP Connection Flow

ConnectAsync(server, port, mapTlsMode(MailSettings.TlsMode), cancellationToken)
  → AuthenticateAsync(user, password, cancellationToken) [optional]
  → SendAsync(message, cancellationToken)
  → DisconnectAsync(quit: true, cancellationToken)

Each SendEmailAsync call opens a new connection. For TLS behavior, see Core.Mailing README — TLS Mode.

Security Notes

  • CRLF injection protection: If Mail.Subject or Mail.UnsubscribeLink contain \r/\n, an ArgumentException is thrown (header injection blocking).
  • DKIM key cache: The PEM key is parsed once via Lazy<> and cached; it is not re-parsed on every send.
  • Recipient validation: At least one of To/Cc/Bcc must contain a recipient (BCC-only broadcast is supported).
