3. Fill in MailDeets class with your details. Click here to get your SMTP password.
4. Add the dataset to the data directory and make necessary changes in the filepath variable in both the files.
5. To the parser.py file, make changes in the line where the pd.Series object is loaded into the variable maillist
6. And you're done! SMTP allows sending of 85 mails at a go. Slice your list to resume sending mails if you get timed-out. The counter value will help there.

Parseteams (in dev) (Only for VIT)

• To use the get_mail_from_teams.py file, you must have the WHO bot installed in your teams profile.
• The driver function is the get_emails() function which accepts a list of registration numbers and returns the emails of the provided numbers.
• This utility is still buggy, since the script often runs faster than the page loads yielding repeated emails. Still can be used for bolk mail spamming.
• To be used in conjunction with the mailsender.py file with minor code insertions to feed the list of emails into the mailsender.
