STEP 1: BASIC SETTINGS

To use daily digest, you must first setup the required options. You can do so by running the program with the required command line options. For example:

dd.py --username=your_smtp_username --password=your_smtp_password
--server=mail.yourserver.com --to=you@somewhere.com

Doing this will store your settings. You can change them at any time by using the appropriate command line option. For example:

dd.py --username=different_smtp_username

STEP 2: ADDING FEEDS

To add feeds, get the URL of the feed and execute the following command:

dd.py -a URL

You can list your feeds:

dd.py -l

And remove feeds (Input is the feed number, from the list):

dd.py -r #

STEP 3: GO

To scan your feeds and send the email, run dd.py as such:

dd.py -g

And that's it. Dump it in Crontab somewhere and let it go. Every time it sends, you'll get all the latest posts in an email.
