Introdution

MuttMailer is a script collection that I wrote to easily set up mass mailing jobs.

Usage

Basic usage flow is like this:

Setup the account (only first time):

$ cp muttrc.template muttrc
$ vi muttrc

Create a directory for your mail:

$ mkdir -p mails/test/attach

Put a subject in:

$ echo "Important mail!" > mails/test/body

Mark the directory as the current email.

$ ./current.sh mails/test

Write a body

$ vi mails/test/body

Put the attachments inside mails/test/attach if needed.

Edit recipient list:

$ vi mails/test/list

Test your setup:

$ ./test.sh

Start mailing:

$ ./send.sh

or schedule it:

$ ./at.sh 22:30

Scripts

• ./current.sh - set the current mail directory
• ./test.sh - see how your mailing is going to look like
• ./send.sh - start mailing
• ./at.sh - schedule the mailing
• ./tools/format-list.sh - use this tool to prepare recipient lists

Pitfalls

• Only one scheduled job is possible at the moment.
• Lists format is very strict and should really be prepared by format-list.sh tool.
