bart
uses the net/smtp
package,
which uses TLS if possible.
Still, just to be safe, I explicitly discourage using bart
for mission-critical information.
$ make install
You can get them from GitHub releases.
You want to send an HTML email stored as a Mustache template in template.mustache
.
Your configuration (see below) is defined in config.bart.yml
.
To preview the rendered emails, call bart
without the send -s
flag:
$ bart -t template.mustache -c config.bart.yml
Hello, Jane Doe
Send flag not set: opening preview in "chromium-browser"
Send flag not set: opening preview in "chromium-browser"
To send the email, add the send flag -s
:
$ bart -t template.mustache -c config.bart.yml -s
Hello, Jane Doe
Please enter your credentials for "smtpserver.xyz.com"
Login: janedoe
Password:
Will send to [[email protected] [email protected]]
Will send to [[email protected] [email protected]]
Since this email will not appear in your provider's Sent
folder,
bart
will send you a BCC copy.
For help, call bart -h
.
Here's an example config file:
author:
name: Jane Doe
email: [email protected]
browser: chromium-browser
email_server:
hostname: smtpserver.xyz.com
port: 123
global_context:
subject: Global subject
recipients:
[email protected]:
salutation: Hi John
subject: Local subject, overrides global one
[email protected]:
salutation: Hello Max
Basically, recipients
is a hashmap keyed by recipient email addresses;
the values are local contexts specific for each recipient.
Notice that local context overrides global one!
