An email sending utility for python

Project description

firemail

firemail is a simple Python module for sending emails using the SMTP protocol. It allows you to send plain text or HTML emails and optionally attach files. The module is designed to work with Gmail by default but can be configured for other SMTP servers as well.

Installation

To use firemail, you can install it via pip:

pip install firemail

Usage

import os
from firebmail import sendmail


# Example usage
sender = "yourmail@example.com"
password = "your_app_password"
payload = "Hello, this is a test email!"
recipient = "recipient_email@example.com"
subject = "Test Email"

sendmail(payload, recipient, sender,password, subject)

Function Parameters

The sendmail function has the following parameters:

payload: The string containing the message, either in plain text or HTML format. recipient: The email address of the recipient. sender: Your email address password: Your app password subject: The email subject (default is "Message from firemail"). type_: The type of payload, either 'plain' or 'html' (default is 'plain'). filepath: The path of the email attachment, default is None. client: The name of the client (default is 'smtp.gmail.com'). Attempts to use unrelated mail services may result in failure

Example with attachment

import os
from firebmail.firebmail import sendmail



# Example usage with attachment
sender = "yourmail@example.com"
password = "your_app_password"
payload = "Hello, this email includes an attachment."
recipient = "recipient_email@example.com"
subject = "Email with Attachment"
filepath = "path/to/your/file.pdf"

sendmail(payload, recipient,sender, password, subject, filepath=filepath)

Sending Batch Mail

Using the sendmail function in a loop to send multiple emails can be inefficient, because it authenticates each time; instead use the BatchMail class to send multiple emails efficiently.

from firebmail import BatchMail

sender = "mymail@example.com"
password = "my app password"

payload = "Hello, this is a test email!"
subject = "Test Email"

batch = BatchMail(sender = sender, password = password, subject=subject, payload=payload)
batch.send_batch(['test1@gmail.com', 'test2@gmail.com', 'test3@gmail.com'])

Note

Make sure to use this module responsibly and adhere to the email sending policies of your email service provider. Additionally, consider using application-specific passwords for enhanced security.

For Gmail users, you can generate an app password by following the instructions here.
