I did not join social media until very recently but wanted an easy way to send pictures to close friends and family so built this small python script that sends N pics out of a text file list (so if even if I sort 100 in one day I only send 5 per batch) sends one pic per email, reduce the size of the pics, sets a custom from field, hide the recipients' addresses in the BCC field.

There's nothing extraordinary about it, it's not far from a standard spam bot! What's interesting about it is that I've been using it for more than a decade with fairly little maintenance.
