Postman

Postman Icon

Postman is a CLI utility for batch-sending email through any SMTP server (so you can use Postman with your personal Gmail, Amazon SES, Sendgrid, or anything else you'd like).

Features

  • Fast, templated, bulk emails
  • Reads template attributes from CSV
  • Works with any SMTP server
Why this over cat | sed | sendmail < bcc distro_list?
  • Supports both text and HTML parts in emails
  • All of the power of templates in Go (conditionals, etc)
  • Some SMTP providers will complain if there are too many emails in BCC (generally >1000)
  • Sends emails concurrently

Installation

$ go get github.com/zachlatta/postman

Usage

$ postman [flags]

$ postman -html template.html -text template.txt -csv recipients.csv \
    -sender "Zaphod Beeblebrox <zaphod@beeblebrox.com>" \
    -subject "Hello, World!" -server smtp.beeblebrox.com -port 587 \
    -user zaphod -password Betelgeuse123

<h1>Hello, {{.Name}}! You are a {{.Type}}</h1>

Hello, {{.Name}}! You are a {{.Type}}.
