Documentation

Overview

Package emailer is responsible for sending out a feed item via email.

There are two ways emails are sent:

1. Via spawning /usr/sbin/sendmail.

2. Via SMTP.

The choice is made based upon the presence of environmental variables.

Types

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Emailer stores our state

func New

func New(feed *gofeed.Feed, item withstate.FeedItem, opts []configfile.Option, log *slog.Logger) *Emailer

New creates a new Emailer object.

The arguments are the source feed, the feed item which is being notified, and any associated configuration values from the source feed.

func (*Emailer) Sendmail

func (e *Emailer) Sendmail(addresses []string, textstr string, htmlstr string) error

Sendmail is a simple function that emails the given address.

We send a MIME message with both a plain-text and a HTML-version of the message. This should be nicer for users.
