Cryptoletter

This is a simple Python script to send an encrypted email to a list of recipients. In case you need a moderately secure way to keep a number of people informed about a project.

Install

You need two dependencies:

# pip install gnupg pysocks

Obviously if you need it, install Tor.

Usage

You need to either modify or create a YAML config file. Each file contains the details of the mail account and the recipients. You can make one config file for each "newsletter" so to speak. Here's an example:

tor: yes
host: mail.yourdomain.com
port: 587
user: [email protected]
pwd: yourpassword
from: [email protected]
recipients:
    - [email protected]
    - [email protected]

Then you need to create an email file:

Subject: This is the email subject

This is the email body, starts after a line break.

You can now send the emails like this:

$ python cryptoletter.py --config news.yaml /tmp/email.txt

If no --config is specified, it will attempt to use config.yaml in the local folder.
