Function details: From the spamlists I've already created, this bot simply triggers a MassMessage run over these in turn through the existing extension, which distributes the messages. Requesting speedy approval on my bot account (I have my own flag for this already!), mainly due to the amount of messages this is sending, plus I don't have to leave my account logged in while this runs

Speedily Approved. with execution requirements: You must first send out a batch of 50 to check for any issues with your message delivery prior to the large run. After the 50 messages review the talk pages the ensure no formatting errors have been introduced. This approval is for this one time run, after which the mass-message flag may be removed. — xaosflux Talk 21:55, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
