Use this extension.This is wrapper for swiftmailer.

When you upload file to db.

Fetch all the users, to whom you want to sen email.

Set static body.

I think it is the simple solution, just do it step by step.

If you are using gmail SMTP don’t forget to set transport option to components array in config/main.php file.

i followed all the steps. i don’t understand $message->setBody function what it does and another error php is giving is

fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.google.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)
