MailPitcher

A library simplify file mailing tasks

Setup

Define your own pitcher.cfg, need not to be in a specific directory or name. You can address it with the Pitcher constructor.
The pitcher.cfg will look like the following:

[Shot_1]
enabled = True
from = [email protected]
to = [email protected], [email protected]
subject = MailPitcher Test
htmlContent = <h1>MailPitcher</h1><p>test message</p>
plainContent = test message
files[0] = /tmp/mail.log
files[1] = /tmp/mail.pitcher.log
files[2] = /tmp/gloves.pitcher.log

[SMTP]
host = smtp.sunshire.net
port = 25

The section "SMTP" is necessary, which addresses the SMTP server and port.
For other sections, each one documents a pitching(mailing) task.
You are allow to specify the sender(from)/receiver(to), aware that to field is allow multi-value, so you can mail multiple people.

enabled field is optional, default True. Assigning values other than "True" would skip this section.
subject field is plain text.
htmlContent and plainContent are mutual exculsive, but if you specified both, htmlContent has a higher priority.
And the last but not least, files*, you are allow to specify variadic quatity of files, as long as they got the correct prefix(files).
