What did you try? You should just be able to pass the list: s.sendmail( msg['From'], emails, msg.as_string() ) Or, if you must, msg['To'] = emails s.sendmail( msg['From'], msg['To'], msg.as_string() ) It needs to be a list or tuple of individual addresses, e-mail only, with no "nicknames". If you tried that, what did you see? >maybe try : msg['To'] = ', '.join( emails ) > >taken from: > > http://docs.python.org/lib/node597.html No, you misread the example. It uses that in the headers of the message. That won't work for the second parameter of SMTP.sendmail. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
