dailyc v0.1.0 released two months ago, giving users the ability to send multimedia messages at regular intervals. In v0.2.0, we add the ability to subscribe email addresses by adding them to config.json:

{
	"imageDirectory": "../img",
	"subscribers": [
		"..."
	],
	"emailSubscribers": [
		"dailyc@lospi.net",
		"mom@lospi.net",
		"dad@lospi.net",
		"..."
	],
	"messages": [
		"..."
	]
}

There is some additional configuration necessary in application.properties (still residing in dailyc/dailyc-core/src/main/resources/) to configure your outbound email traffic. You’ll need to add these to the existing properties required for v0.1.0:

email.userName=josh@lospi.net
email.password=AAABBBCCCDDD
email.hostName=smtp.myemail.com
email.sslSmtpPort=587
email.attachmentName=dailyc.jpg
email.fromName=Dailyc Sender
email.toName=Dailyc Receiver
email.from=dailyc@lospi.net

Using the Apache Commons Email made it very straightforward to include email subscribers–all we needed was a little wiring between it, gorm, and Spring Batch. You can check out the additions here.

I’ve also updated README.md with a minimal getting started.
