mailCLI is CLI wrapper app written purely in go which use https://github.com/go-mail/mail and transforms it to command line interface app.

.\mailCLI.exe -to="[email protected],[email protected]" -attach="file.png" -subj="Subject of mail" -body="Hi<br><b>Cheers<\b><br>bye!"

 -attach string
       files you want to attach, if multiple files use comma as separator ','
 -body string
       Body-content of mail message or a path to text/html file (default "Example body of message")
 -config string
       location of json config file (only if you want to pass other config file than this from 'mail_config' env var")
 -subj string
       subject of mail message (default "Automated mail sended from mailCLI app")
 -to string
       mail recipient, if multiple recipients use comma as separator ','

1. Install dependecies (right now this is the only one), also from creator of gomail package: It requires Go 1.2 or newer. With Go 1.5, no external dependencies are used.

go get gopkg.in/gomail.v2
go get github.com/kiwimic/mailCLI

2. In your terminal find location of your go src folder and then find package mailCLI /src/github.com/kiwimic/mailCLI

3. Create dir named 'config' and then create config.json file inside (remeber that you will have to store your password and login for STMP server) copy this template and fill it with your personal data.

{
    "mailserver"             : {
        "smtp_gate"     : "smtp.gmail.com",
        "smtp_port"     : 587,
        "from_mail"     : "[email protected]"
    },
    "authentication"           : {
        "login" : "yourlogin",
        "password" : "yourpassowrd"
    }
}

4. Create dir named logs, and then create enviroment variables mail_config and mail_log with exact paths to config.json, and log.txt (log.txt will be created automatically as this file)

for me I used (it's location of my source code)

mail_config = C:\goworkspace\src\github.com\mailCLI\config\config.json
mail_log = C:\goworkspace\src\github.com\mailCLI\logs\log.txt

5. Now go build . or go install (depends on your personal needs) inside /src/github.com/kiwimic/mailCLI

6. Test and play with your app :)

with go build .

.\mailCLI.exe -to="[email protected],[email protected]" -attach="file.png" -subj="Subject of mail"

or after go install

mailCLI -to="[email protected],[email protected]" -attach="file.png" -subj="Subject of mail"

• Add option to take authentication (login, password) from enviroment variables.
• Add tests for each function
• Add some logging and history of operations
• Add location to configuration file, and log file as env vars
