All I did was changed the comments to make them more relevant to my
problem but here it is (not sanitized :P)
fp=open('list.txt','r')
list=fp.readlines()
fp.close()
textfile='message.txt'
subject='[xsbar] alive and kicking'
me='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
# Import smtplib for the actual sending function
import smtplib
# Import the email modules we'll need
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
# Open a plain text file for reading. For this example, assume that
# the text file contains only ASCII characters.
fp = open(textfile, 'rb')
# Create a text/plain message
msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
fp.close()
# me == the sender's email address
# you == the recipient's email address
for line in list:
you=line[:-1]
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = you
# Send the message via our own SMTP server, but don't include the
# envelope header.
s = smtplib.SMTP()
s.connect()
s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
s.close()
print you,

Yes there was a print statement at the end so I could follow the
process

I must be punching way out of my league here but it is not clear to me.
Why do I need to reset anything when all I seem to be doing is straight
assignation:
1) msg['To']=you
2) [you] in the sendmail call
In order to try to figure it out I did:
list=['a','b','c']
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
msg=MIMEText('message')
for l in list:
msg['Subject']='subject'
msg['From']='me'
msg['To']=l
print msg.as_string()
Which outputs:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: subject
From: me
To: a
message
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: subject
From: me
To: a
Subject: subject
From: me
To: b
message
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: subject
From: me
To: a
Subject: subject
From: me
To: b
Subject: subject
From: me
To: c
message
I realized too late that it is what was happenig but I am afraid I
don't understand why it is happening?
What would be the best way to go about it then? Instantiate a new msg
in the loop?
I guess I must read the doc more carefully, thanks for your time (if
you can spare some more I would be grateful).
