A small python email server meant to be used with a gmail account.
Create a virtual environment and install the packages:
virtualenv venv;
source venv/bin/activate;
pip install -r requirements.txt
Follow this guide to create oauth2 gmail account credentials.
Open the make_credentials.py
script and replace YOUR_EMAIL_HERE
with the gmail email you want to use. Run the script to have yagmail
create your oauth2 gmail client credentials file.
python3 scripts/make_credentials.py
Now you can run the main application!
./run.sh
Hit the /email
endpoint with a POST
request using something like the example JSON below:
{
"from": "test@test.com",
"subject": "This is a test email",
"content": "Here is the email content!"
}
