Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Required Python libraries:
  • smtplib
  • email
  • os
  • re
  • datetime
  • time

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd Email Tool

2. Configure the following files:

   • receipient_list.txt: Add recipient email addresses (one per line).
   • cc_list.txt: Add CC email addresses (one per line).
   • subject.txt: Add the email subject.
   • body.txt: Add the email body content.

3. Update the emailer.py script:

   • Set the sender email address and password in the global variables section.
   • Add file paths for attachments in the attachment_file_paths list.

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python emailer.py

2. The script will:

   • Validate the sender email address.
   • Check for required files (recipients, CC list, subject, body, log).
   • Send emails to all valid recipients.
   • Log the status of each email in log.csv.

Logging

The log.csv file records the status of each email with the following columns:\

• Recipient: The recipient's email address.
• Status: success, error, or invalid.
• DateTime: The timestamp of the email attempt.
• Error: The error message (if any).

Modular Design

The project is divided into modules for better maintainability:

• email_utils.py: Contains functions for sending emails and validating email addresses.
• smtp_utils.py: Contains functions for setting up the SMTP server.

Notes

• If using Gmail, ensure you have enabled "App Passwords" for authentication. Refer to Google's App Passwords Guide.
• The script pauses for 5 seconds between sending emails to avoid rate-limiting issues.
