Hi all, I have searched the group with no answer to this particular
problem.

In my sendmail program, I would like to have the ability to send a mail
message with no-one email address in the To field.

I do this by adding the mail to the CC field via a header. However, by
the time I get to the point of sending the mail, my recipient list is
now empty, so I get the "SMTPRecipientsRefused" error.

 You are making the common mistake of thinking that the header recipients are the same as the SMTP- envelope recipients,   in reality they do not have to bear any similarity or relationship :)

You need a single list containing *all* the recipients by email address,  and strings containing the text representations of the header From, To and Cc fields.



-----------------------------
HOST = '127.0.0.1'
SENDER = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RECIPS =  ["[EMAIL PROTECTED]"," [EMAIL PROTECTED]","[EMAIL PROTECTED]"]
FROM = '  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> '
TO = " [EMAIL PROTECTED] "
CC = " Uknown recipients "

def send_email(HOST,SENDER, RECIPIENTS, FROM,TO,SUBJECT ,BODY,CC=None):

   import smtplib
   import string, sys
   body = string.join((
   "From: %s" % FROM,
   "To: %s" % TO,
   "Subject: %s" % SUBJECT,
   "CC: %s" % CC,
   "",
   BODY), "\r\n")

   server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
   server.sendmail(SENDER, RECIPIENTS,body)
   server.quit()

----------------------------

HTH :)
