Simple python bulk mailer script. Raw python using std libs.
Send bulk html emails from the commandline or in your python script by specifying a database of recipients in csv form, a html template with var placeholders and a subject line.
- python >= 2.4
Edit the config file before running the script:
$ vim config.py
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'
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
pymailer.send()
Example of using placeholders in your html email:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <body> <h1>Test HTML Email - <!--name--></h1> <p>Hi <!--name-->, This is a test email from Pymailer - <a href="http://github.com:80/qoda/PyMailer/">http://github.com:80/qoda/PyMailer/</a>.</p> </body> </html>
Example of how the csv file should look:
Someones Name,someone@example.com Someone Else,someone.else@example.com ,some.nameless.person@example.com
