## Purpose
**sendmail** is a Python script with config files to send emails. The ultimate objective of the project will be to automate certain emailing functions required in a day-to-day workflow.
## Requirements
- Python 3
- [PyYAML](https://pyyaml.org/)
## Usage
First, clone the repo from the command line interface.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/normcyr/sendmail.git
```
Rename the config and announcement text files to their proper names.
```bash
cd sendmail
mv config.yml.example config.yml
mv announcement.txt.example announcement.txt
```
Edit the config.yml file to suit your needs.
```bash
nano config.yml
```
You may want to use your email address for both `from_address` and `to_address` addresses in order to test it first.
```yaml
server:
address: smtp.example.com
port: 587
authentification: True
login:
username: [email protected]
password: 1234567890123456
addresses:
from_address: [email protected]
to_address: [email protected]
msg_info:
subject: Test message
```
Edit the announcement.txt file to suit your needs. Replace the text for the message you want to send.
```bash
nano announcement.txt
```
Finally, try the script!
```bash
python sendmail.py
```
