## Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Run the program with no parameters to generate a config file and to print these instructions**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create an audience file
|
||
|
|
* Name it whatever you want.
|
||
|
|
* The file should be a list of email addresses. One email per line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Create an email file
|
||
|
|
* Name it whatever you want.
|
||
|
|
* The first line of the file will be used as the subject.
|
||
|
|
* The rest of the file will be used as the body.
|
||
|
|
* Newlines between the subject and body will be removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Do a test run
|
||
|
|
* go run . test [email filename]
|
||
|
|
* You must send the test email before blasting it to everyone.
|
||
|
|
* If you modify the email file after testing, you must test again. Otherwise NewsBlaster2000 will complain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Start blasting
|
||
|
|
* go run . blast [audience file] [email file]
|
||
|
|
* Will batch send using the Postmark batch API.
|
||
|
|
* Will produce a .track file that will list all email addresses that we attempted to send to.
|
||
|
|
* In case of error, you can blast again. All emails listed in the .track file will be skipped.
|
||
|
|
* Will produce a .log file with information received back from Postmark.
