Commandline

The simplest method of sending out a bulk email.

Run a test to predefined test_recipients:

$ ./pymailer -t /path/to/html/file.html /path/to/csv/file.csv 'Email Subject'

Send the actual email to all recipients:

$ ./pymailer -s /path/to/html/file.html /path/to/csv/file.csv 'Email Subject'

Module Import

Alernatively import the PyMailer class into your own code:

from pymailer import PyMailer

pymailer = PyMailer('/path/to/html/file.html' '/path/to/csv/file.csv' 'Email Subject')

# send a test email
pymailer.send_test()

# send bulk mail
