 It supports Windows, Linux and macOS and requires at least python3.7.
 
+**This is a fork** of the original script that supports sending from new **gmail accounts that can't enable smtp access**. Yagmail is used to authenticate via oauth2, this requires some manual setup of the sending account and of the oauth2 credentials on the first run of the script.
+
+[This](https://blog.macuyiko.com/post/2016/how-to-send-html-mails-with-oauth2-and-gmail-in-python.html) shows how to setup your sending google account via the Google API Console. And [This](https://github.com/kootenpv/yagmail#oauth2) walks through the prompts that the console will ask about on the first run.
+
+This fork also adds an optional check on the number of modified files to abort if it is over a configurable threshold, this is a rudimentary method of stopping some ransomware. **This is a very poor method of ransomeware detection and mitigation**, offline and or immutable backups are highly suggested.
