3. Download the .env file example .env.example:

   curl -L https://gitlab.ewi.tudelft.nl/reit/email-sender/-/raw/main/.env.example -o .env
   

4. Edit the .env and set your SMTP credentials:

   FROM_ADDRESS=[e-mail]
   SMTP_USER=_sa-email-smtpa
   SMTP_PASSWORD=password
   

5. Send an email like so:

   send-email \
     --from [e-mail] \
     --recipients [e-mail] \
     --recipients [e-mail] \
     --subject "Test email" \
     --body "Hello, this is a test email." \
     --attachments ./docs/example.pdf
   

Notes:

• Repeat --recipients, --cc, --bcc, and --attachments to pass multiple values.
• Check all available CLI options:

  send-email --help
