install without npm

Hi, guys
Is it possible to install bulkmail without npm?

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ERROR

Run bulkmail config --auth and enter wrong credentials to reproduce the following errors at commit 1f57cac.

Good luck debugging! 🔢

JSON file goes wild: Change settings two times to see a new bracket at end of settings.json file

Just run this once:

setSetting("username", "Kumar Abhirup")
setSetting("username", "new Kumar Abhirup")

You will see your .config/settings.json JSON file go wild:

{"lang":"cn","username":"Kumar Abhirup"} // Before
{"lang":"cn","username":"new Kumar Abhirup"}} // After

See how that extra bracket breaks everything.

If you made your settings variable in BulkMailCli_settings from var to const, more absurd things are seen. Just like this:

{"lang":"cn","username":"new Kumar Abhirup"}"7890} // WTF???

This needs to be fixed somehow in PR #2

NO WINDOWS SUPPORT???

Why the hell does bulk-mail-cli revoke its support for Windows machines???

Make Ctrl+C work for every processes

Everytime an input process starts, it simply doesn't cancel by Ctrl+C. Thus, leading to frustration and to completely quit the terminal and start from scratch. Urgent!

Invalid credentials message when displayed when no Internet in use

Briefly describe the bug
Instead of showing a message of Lost connection, it says Invalid credentials when machine is NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.

---

What should we do to reproduce this bug?
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Shut your internet
2. Put valid credentials in auth an session.
3. See that wild error

---

Expected behavior
An error, namely Lost connection should have appeared.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS Mojave

• OS version: 18.0.0

• bulk-mail-cli version: v0.0.5

• Also try running uname -a and paste the outcome below.

CATCH THE ERROR YOU GET DYNAMICALLY.

`settings.json` can only be found at the root of bulk-mail-cli repo

If I ran bulkmail in a folder which is not bulk-mail-cli, i.e Desktop or Documents,

I see this error:

It is probably because of the use of process.cwd() method for assigning the SETTINGS_PATH variable.

THIS IS SO SILLY BUG!!

Program continues to ask CSV file even after entering wrong service credentials

Do a bulkmail mail, enter wrong credentials and see it not stop the process. 👎

bulk-mail-cli v2

After many requests by 10+ people about feature requests that'll make bulk-mail-cli a very useful and trusted application for mail delivery, I am considering about compiling all the advancements together and call it "bulk-mail-cli v2".

I am glad to introduce @aorelhas and @sanfernoronha as two new maintainers of this project. We three will take the project forward for building the "bulk-mail-cli v2".

Here are the features you'll see in bulk-mail-cli v2 💪

• Major change: bulk-mail-cli v2 will be less GUI based. That is, bulk-mail-cli v2 will work on configuration files so that automation could be done on cloud servers.
• Feature: Mail Intervals
• Feature: Randomize several words in Subject and Mail body by using ${hi|hello} syntax.
• Feature: Allow users to attach files up to 25MB.

Possible features I thinking about including, but need some discussion before making those features.

• A system where --continue command-line flag would continue sending mails from where it left.
• Feature: --num-start-from and --num-end-with flags to choose from the CSV about how many people to mail.
• Feature: (configurable) pause between transmission of two mails random, by supplying two parameters - min pause time and max pause time. E.g. 10 secs and 20 secs, and the real-time paused is a randomly chosen value between 10 and 20 secs.

Thanks to C. Conrad for the valuable feedback.

Rest all the features from v1 will be implemented in v2. We hope to create it soon. 🔥

Mails from custom services hit spam box!

Briefly describe the bug
When a mail is sent using Gmail service, mail hits inbox.
But when custom mails [email protected] are used, mails often hit spam box.
Mails might go in spam if too many mails are sent at once due to highspeed internet.

---

Expected behavior
All non-promotional mails should reach inbox.

---

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS Mojave

• OS version: 18.0.0

• bulk-mail-cli version: v0.0.5

• Also try running uname -a and paste the outcome below.

Additional context
You may solve this problem by creating a couple-seconds interval time for each mail to send.

feat: Scheduler

I'd like my mails to only be sent at certain hours for example: between 9 AM and 5 PM.

sending from multiple smtp servers

hello, i will like to know if this project has the ability to send from multiple smtp servers

for example, if i add 1000 emails and i want to add multiple smtp so each smtp should send 90 email each.
thanks

feat: Rate limit

Some ISP prevents you from sending so many mails in a given window of time.

I think it would be good for those to have a way to limit the mail per hour or something.

Error after installing bulk-mail-cli on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

Hello amazing people! So I've just installed bulk-mail-cli using "npm i -g bulk-mail-cli" and the process completed successfully but then I saw this message at the bottom of the terminal window. Has anyone seen the same? should i worry about it? and how do I fix this? thanks a ton!

The Error Message:

BulkMailCli_settings module not found

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux Kali 3
• bulk-mail-cli version: Unknown
• Node version: v8.11.2

---

Additional context
The information about this bug was given by a user on Twitter.

What is the maximum number of mails this api can send per hour?

Stay calm and just ask!

Give detailed information of what your environment is, what version do you use, etc... while asking questions.

feat: Front-end

It'd be great if non-IT users could have some kind of back office to send their mails:

• A button to import a CSV that contains a batch of mails
• An editor where the mails would go and could easily be edited
• An editor where the mail template would go
• Some settings button to set up CRON etc.
• Notifications

If you set up some kind of web socket that would be pretty easy for the front-end to follow ?

General Question: How to include EMAIL and PASSWORD inside an .env file

So that it is NOT required when running the code nor it is hardcoded inside the json file
