The mailer project is a simple email automation tool designed to send personalized emails to a list of recipients. The configuration for the email server and sender details are stored in config.yaml. The email content is templated in body.txt, allowing for dynamic insertion of recipient-specific data. The main functionality is implemented in send_mail.py, which reads recipient data from a CSV file, formats the email content, and sends the emails using the SMTP protocol. This project is ideal for automating email campaigns and notifications.
