## Rake task to email users
There is a new Rake task `podmin:admin_mail` available to allow podmins to easily send news and notices to users. The rake task triggers emails via the normal diaspora mailer mechanism (so they are embedded in the standard template) and takes the following parameters:
1) Users definition
* `all` - all users in the database (except deleted)
* `active_yearly` - users logged in within the last year
* `active_monthly` - users logged in within the last month
* `active_halfyear` - users logged in within the last 6 months
2) Path to message file
* Give here a path to a HTML or plain text file that contains the message.
3) Subject
* A subject for the email
Example shell command (depending on your environment);
`RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake podmin:admin_mail['active_monthly','./message.html','Important message from pod']`
