Question

I’ve tried sending mail with python from gmail and it works fine. But the problem is when I created the Mail class with one method to whom I send specific string from my code, it can’t be send.

class Mail:
   def send_mail(self, msg):
      import smtplib  

      fromaddr = '[e-mail]'  
      toaddrs  = '[e-mail]' 
      msg = msg + "something"

      print msg

      username = 'something'  
      password = 'something'  


      server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')  
      server.starttls()  
      server.login(username,password)  
      server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)  
      server.quit()  

This way it sends mail but the only thing in mail is “something” that I added to string, and print msg outputs the whole string plus “something”. What could be the problem?

This is the whole class for now, and it’s called

     mail = Mail()
     mail.send_mail(message)

I don’t know what was the problem, but I managed to send it using MIME that’s already in python

So here is the code that works:

def send_mail(self, message):

    import smtplib
    from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
    from email.MIMEText import MIMEText

    gmailUser = '[e-mail]'
    gmailPassword = 'something'
    recipient = '[e-mail]'

    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['From'] = gmailUser
    msg['To'] = recipient
    msg['Subject'] = "Subject"
    msg.attach(MIMEText(message))

    mailServer = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
    mailServer.ehlo()
    mailServer.starttls()
    mailServer.ehlo()
    mailServer.login(gmailUser, gmailPassword)
    mailServer.sendmail(gmailUser, recipient, msg.as_string())
    mailServer.close()
