# DMCA Warning Automation

## About

The goal of this program is to remove XML tagging from emails sent by the DMCA and automate the sending of warning emails to infringing users. 

It begins by reading from an XML file and converting the XML Tags and their content into JSON format. JSON data referenced and implemented with existing Python patterns before being sent into the EmailTemplate that becomes email subject and body. EmailGenerator uses said subject and body as well as smtp to convert the message into correct email format. Using the link between the program and Google Gmail emails are sent.  

## How to Run

1. Configure your test files or connect to your external email account to import data 

    - Use Config.py to select what test file to run

2. Add your email information to the exampleEmailInfo directory

   - For more information see: EmailInfo 

3. Add your user information to the exampleUserInfo directory

   - For more information see: UserInfo

4. Run the program from Main

## EmailInfo

This section is used for the email signature configuration, it is built to be easily adjustable. The data is stored in a Json file to be stored before being sent to the Email Template. 

## UserInfo

This section is the link between the program and your email. This program is structured for Google Gmail addresses. 

To link your gmail:

1. Ensure that 2-Step Verification is enabled

   - Otherwise, enable it in Settings > Security > How you sign in to Google

2. Generate an App Password
