61626c mail list manager

This was built in response to being unable to find a super simple mailing list software that doesn't want aliases with postfix or any number of unessesary system integrations. How to Set up:

  1. Rename config.ini.example to config.ini

  2. Open config.ini, set up the admin address details - as well as any other mailing lists you want to run.

  3. The mailer automatically checks login details at every run. It will tell you if the password changes or you can't log in.

  4. You need to set up a cron job, or scheduler. The script does not automatically monitor the inboxes

NOTE: You need at least python3.6 to run this.

FAQ:

  1. This program doesn't automatically monitor the inbox?

    No - It's not meant to run constantly, set it up on a 30 second cron job or loop a bash script.

  2. I found a bug?

    You can email me at [email protected] or join the [email protected] mailing list and ask for help there.

  3. What license?

    Beerware. but if you do any improvements, I would appreciate a diff.

  4. I how many emails can I send at once?

    Depends on your email provider. for example gmail top out at 500 recipients per email. if you've got more than 500 people on a single list, might be time to upgrade to some better software.
