Just POST an email to him and he'll send it for you.

SENDER_ADDRESS=""   #email address to send from
PASSWORD=""         #password for the email account
EMAIL_HOST=""       #smtp provider address eg: smtp.office365.com
EMAIL_PORT=""       #smtp provider port eg: 587

npm i
node ./index.js

POST body:
{
  to: comma separated like of email addresses
  subject: subject of the email
  html?: (optional) html body
  plainText?: (optional) plain text body
  template?: (optional) name of the template to use 
}
html and plainText are optional, you can use either or both (or neither).
template is also optional, but if present, html should be included if the template contains {{body}}.

In Powershell:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://your_server:port -Method POST -Body @{to="[email protected],another@email";subject="Email Subject";html="Body of email"}

• 200: Success
• 403: Not on allowed list
• 500: Failure

You can create templates for your emails by placing a file named (template-name).html in the templates folder, then in your POST request, specify the name of the template you'd like to use.

A template can contain {{body}}, which will be replaced by the html specified in the POST body.

An example template called 'basic' is included.

1. PC can't make successful POST requests

• Check that the pc that is making the request is allowed to by opening a browser to the server address:port, you should see the message "Hello, I (Don't) know you (ip_address)"
• If it says it doesn't know you, make sure that ip_address is in your .env file, then restart the server
• Also if it says your ip is "::ffff:ipv4" put the whole thing in including the "::ffff:"

2. Server errors when starting

• Make sure your .env file has ALL the properties
• Make sure the smtp settings are correct (host, port, email, password)

3. Server errors when sending templated emails

• Check that the template name is correct
• Make sure the process is started in the same directory as the index.js file (for file path reasons)
