gmailer

A simple tool to send test emails using a Gmail or Google Apps account.

Usage

python gmailer.py USER PASSWORD RECIPIENT FILE [--subject SUBJECT]

Where:

  • USER is the email address of the Google account to be used to send emails (e.g. me@gmail.com).
  • PASSWORD is the password used to authenticate as the Google account.
  • RECIPIENT is the email address of the user to send the email to. It also supports a comma-separated list of values.
  • FILE is the location of the file containing the HTML body of the email to send.
  • SUBJECT is the optional email subject. If not provided, the default value will be "Gmailer test - DATETIME"

Examples

Login to Google as me@gmail.com (password abcde123) and send the HTML content from ./templates/goto_action.html to you@gmail.com:

python gmailer.py me@gmail.com abcde123 you@gmail.com ./templates/goto_action.html

Same as before, but with custom subject line:

python gmailer.py me@gmail.com abcde123 you@gmail.com ./templates/goto_action.html --subject "Sample email from Gmailer"
