How to use

Provide your SMTP server settings, e.g. for AWS SES

import os

servernm = 'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
username = os.getenv('SES_SMTP_USER')
password = os.getenv('SES_SMTP_PASS')
smtp_cfg = dict(host=servernm, port=587, user=username, password=password, use_ssl=False, use_tls=True)

You can configure your SMTP server settings using the smtp_cfg dictionary format shown above. The example uses AWS SES with environment variables for credentials.

Provide your email details

from_addr = get_addr('XXX@fastmail.com', 'Jeremy Howard')
to_addrs = [get_addr('douglas@example.com', 'Douglas Adams'),
            get_addr('cleese@example.com', 'John Cleese')]
inserts  = [{'special': "Thanks for all the fish."},
            {'special': "That was a silly walk."}]

msg = """## Hello there!

Here is your special message: *{special}*"""

ml = MarkdownMerge(to_addrs, from_addr, 'A message', msg, smtp_cfg=smtp_cfg, inserts=inserts, test=True)

The test=True parameter prints the messages instead of sending them.

Send your messages

ml.send_msgs()
