This is an application to send mails to a mail list. It receives a spreadsheet with the mail addresses and a file with the content, then send the content to every mail listed in the spreadsheet.
$ mailsender <mail_config> <mail_list> <mail_content>
<mail_config>: JSON file with the mail server parameters<mail_list>: the spreadsheet containing the addresses<mail_content>: the file with the body of the message
The spreadsheet must start from A1 with the following columns:
name: the name of the receiveremail: the e-mail address
For the moment, the program only accept .csv files.
This must be a plain text file with the message to be sent. You can include
a line with the tag Subject: followed by the subject of the message. This
line can go at any point in the file, but is recommended to put it near the top,
for easy access. Also, only the first occurrence of Subject: will be
considered.
Some fields could be used and they will be overwritten by the program in the outgoing message. The fields are the following:
__name__: to be substituted by the name of the receiver__email__: to be substituted by the e-mail address of the receiver__date__: to be substituted by the current date
Te content of the file can be just plain text or HTML. In the last case, it must start with the DOCTYPE declaration.
The file extension is irrelevant.
