Proper error handling

[zachlatta]

Right now the program just fails and exits if it encounters errors. Ideally it'd print out recipients that it failed on. Maybe write them to a CSV?

Might also be a good idea to parse templates before sending.

Reminder to self to take care of this.

I just bumped into this.

Emailed recipient 24 of 67...
Error sending email: Error sending email: 550 5.1.1 <secret@broken.com>... User unknown

Worst of all - that user is at line 32, but it says it sent 24 emails...

So did those from line 24 to 32 get the email or not ?

Would be great to fix this - at least by printing out who succesfully received the mail so I could remove them from the list.

Would it be more useful to have the output look something like the following?

name@email.com success
name2@email.com success
name3@email.com failure
name4@email.com failure
name5@gmial.com success

So you can grep the response and parse with other unix utilities?

Yes :)

Alright, cool. I'll try to take some time in the near future to
update Postman to V2, which'll play nicer with other unix utilities
and allow proper error checking. I have a flight this weekend, maybe
I can do it then.
