recruiter-email-responder

• Tired of constantly getting emails from recruiters who are simply too lazy to understand your requirements? Without end?
• You've already set up a vacation response but they use lists and your emails get delivered to the list response (/dev/null most of the time)?

Then this is for you. If you set up your email server to pipe the email into this tool after filtering for the addresses (used with dovecot2/sieve filters), it will send replies to the From header, not the Return-Path one.

Am I a dick to implement this? Not less than the recruiters not willing to update their filters/mailing lists.

Nonetheless, this program will only send 1 reply per day, whereas they often send tons of emails daily.

Used python3 modules: - smtplib to send the email via localhost:25 - sqlite3 to check the sender DB to not resend emails in a day - email to construct the email.

Requirements:

Pretty much nothing other than python3. Modules come shipped.

• text-reply.txt containing the text version of your reply
• html-reply.html containing the html version of your reply

Setup:

• Install python3 (do I need to say this?)
• Install this repository into a random directory, reachable for dovecot2
• Copy your replies (mentioned above) into the same repo directory
• Edit your sieve configuration to pipe your given role into this tool.
