mailer

Description

Sends emails using templates. Useful for simple, bulk mailouts.

Installation

Use one of the binaries in builds/

OR

go build mailer.go

Usage

Copy / Paste an email into a file to form the template; substitute values within the email file with template variables:

{{ .FirstName }}
{{ .LastName }}
{{ .Email }}
{{ .Subject }}
{{ .From }}
{{ .Url }}
{{ .Date }}

Send the email using:

mailer -username "fred.tester@example" -password "StrongPassword123" -subject "TEST" -sender "Fred Tester <fred.tester@example>" -f test.csv -t template.eml -host smtp.office365.com -port 587 -debug -url "https://example.com/phishlol"

  -host string
    	the smtp host
  -password string
    	the smtp password

    	the smtp port (default 25)
  -sender string
    	the from address (default "Test Person <[email protected]>")

Note EMAIL SUCKS. Make sure you test delivery to known addresses before attempting to send to unknown addresses; chances are the email won't arrive / will render incorrectly / is full of mistakes (especially where HTML templates are in use).

Roadmap

• Fix mailer to reuse a single connection instead of making a new SMTP client for every email
