Hi,
I am writing a few different scripts that need to send email
confirmation and I wanted to use smtplib instead of cheating and using
os.system('mail -s "foo"....) Some of the examples I have seen don't
seem to work for me. (Note, I am new to Python and probably doing
something stupid...thanks :) ) Here is one I grabbed
http://effbot.org/librarybook/smtplib.htm
import smtplib
import string, sys
HOST = "localhost"
FROM = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
TO = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
SUBJECT = "for your information!"
BODY = "next week: how to fling an otter"
body = string.join((
"From: %s" % FROM,
"To: %s" % TO,
"Subject: %s" % SUBJECT,
"",
BODY), "\r\n")
print body
server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
server.sendmail(FROM, [TO], body)
server.quit()
If I change this to suit my needs it looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
import string, sys
HOST = "localhost"
FROM = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
TO = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
SUBJECT = "for your information!"
BODY = "next week: how to fling an otter"
body = string.join((
"From: %s" % FROM,
"To: %s" % TO,
"Subject: %s" % SUBJECT,
"",
BODY), "\r\n")
print body
server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
server.sendmail(FROM, [TO], body)
server.quit()
When I run it I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
