Bash script to send Bulk email with Postfix and Gmail

Sometime it is needed send the same email at several people, unfortunately ours email services providers doesnt' allow this, usually there is a daily limit for the outgoing emails and if we put a lot of recipients in the Ccn field the email is marked as spam and it is blocked.

Gmail, for example, allow us to send an email at 500 recipients every 24 hours, but if we use the field CCn with a lot of recipients then the email si blocked. With these considerations we can send our email at 500 recipients, wait 24 hours and then send the same email at others 500...

Puppy Linux: change DNS

This simply is a my personal memorandum because when I needed to change the DNS on Puppy Linux I always waste some time for remembering how to do also if this is a really simple procedure. To change the DNS on any Puppy Linux distro we have simply to create the file /etc/resolv.conf.head as following: # Cloudflare DNS servers nameserver 1.1.1.1 nameserver 1.0.0.1
