connection.Hello("my-sending-server.example.com")
// authenticate and send email
connection.Quit()

== Compliant Solution

[source,go,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
import "net/http"

[source,go,diff-id=2,diff-type=compliant]
----
import (
    "crypto/tls"
    "net/smtp"
)

tlsConfig := &tls.Config{}

connection, err := smtp.Dial("mail.example.com:25") // Compliant
connection.Hello("my-sending-server.example.com")
err = connection.StartTLS(tlsConfig)
if err == nil {
