Re: Getting "LazyImporter' object is not callable" error when trying to send email using python smtplib

[Sum]

Thanks Steve for your inputs.
Now I am able to run the code successfully.

# Made changes to import statements as below:
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.text import MIMEText


Apologies for the typo and indentation error in above mail.

The code you show is not the same as the code you are actually running. 
The error message you give says:

File "test_mail.py", line 64, in 
  send_email(to, SUBJECT, TEXT, attachment_file) 
File "test_mail.py", line 24, in send_email
  msg.attach(MIMEText(text))
TypeError: 'LazyImporter' object is not callable


Notice the quoted line 24. Here it is again:

msg.attach(MIMEText(text))

But line 24 in the code you give us is:

msg.attach(part)


which is different. Also, you have a line of code:

except smtplib.SMTPException,error::

Notice the two colons at the end of the line? That's a syntax error. So 
the code you have shown us cannot possibly be the same as the code you 
are running.

Please review your code, copy and paste the complete traceback, starting 
with the line "Traceback", and make sure that you have run the code you 
show us.

It might help to read this page:

It's written for Java programmers, but the ideas apply equally to Python.

Getting "LazyImporter' object is not callable" error when trying to send email using python smtplib

[Sum]

Hi,

Getting "LazyImporter' object is not callable" error.
I have enabled allow less secure app setting in sender gmail.

Code :

import smtplib
from email import MIMEBase
from email import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email import Encoders
import os

def send_email(to, subject, text, filenames):
try:
gmail_user = 'x...@gmail.com'
gmail_pwd = ''

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = gmail_user
msg['To'] = ", ".join(to)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach(MIMEText(text))

for file in filenames:
part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
part.set_payload(open(file, 'rb').read())
Encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;
filename="%s"'% os.path.basename(file))
msg.attach(part)

mailServer = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com:465")
mailServer.ehlo()
mailServer.starttls()
mailServer.ehlo()
mailServer.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
mailServer.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg.as_string())
mailServer.close()
print('successfully sent the mail')

except smtplib.SMTPException,error::
print str(error)

if __name__ == '__main__':
attachment_file = ['t1.txt','t2.csv']
to = "xxx...@gmail.com"
TEXT = "Hello everyone"
SUBJECT = "Testing sending using gmail"

send_email(to, SUBJECT, TEXT, attachment_file)


Getting below error :

The error was thrown by another line :S, after putting the TimeoutError it work 
OK (with the proper exception line).

I had to apply a WA server = None to avoid the finally " UnboundLocalError: 
local variable 'server' referenced before assignment "

server = None
   try:
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.com')   <--- this is where the

server.sendmail(sender, receivers, msg.as_string())

print("SMTP could not be access: %s"%e)
pass

[smtplib] how to assure login was succesful?

[maurice]

Hello to all.

I have the following question:

Once my python script reaches the point where I login in my email account with: 
server.login(username,password) (where server server = 
smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com:587')), it returns a tuple like this:

(235,
 '2.7.0 Authentication successful target host [address here]')

This method returns a tuple (code, resp). Just want to confirm if I use a 
variable to store code alone I should check if it is 235 or not, by looking at 
the reference it seems it is the only code value that does not raise an 
exception.

Thank you.

smtplib not working when python run under windows service via Local System account

[loial]

I have a python 2.7.10 script which is being run under a windows service on 
windows 2012 server .
The python script uses smtplib to send an email.

It works fine when the windows service is run as a local user, but not when the 
windows service is configured to run as Local System account. I get no 
exception from smtplib, but the email fails to arrive.

Any ideas?

Re: error importing smtplib

[Eric Frederich]

I can do this in stand alone programs because my code does the import and
calls the login function so I can control the order of things.
Unfortunately stand alone programs are not the only ways in which I am
using these Python bindings.

You can customize and extend this 3rd party application at various
extension points all of which are invoked after login.
We have a lot of extensions written in Python.

I guess I will have to back to the BAR vendor and ask if it is okay to
remove their old .so file.
Perhaps their code will just work with the newer 0.9.8e or perhaps they'll
have to relink or recompile.

Likely, you must relink the shared object containing
your "FOO_login". When its current version was linked,
the (really) old "libssl" has been current and the version was linked
against it.
As the binary objects for your shared object might depend on the old
version, it is best, to not only relink but to recompile it as well.

 /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e

Then after logging in, I see this other .so get loaded...

 /opt/bar/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.7


That version appears to be about a decade old. Why is bar using it?


So that is what happens when when things are well and I don't get any
error messages.
However, when I do the log in first I see the /opt/bar .so file loaded first

 /opt/bar/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.7

Then after importing smtplib I see the other two show up...

 /opt/foo/python27/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so
 /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e


What I know is that hashlib.py imports _hashlib (compilied .c) and that 
the latter wraps libssl, or calls _ssl.so which wraps libssl. In *nix 
this is expected to already be on the system, so in not distributed with 
python. Furthermore, hashlib requires a version recent enough to have 
the latest (best) hash functions. I suspect decade-old 9.9.7 does not 
qualify.


What I don't know is how .so loading and linking works. It seems that 
two version get loaded but linking gets messed up. This reminds me of 
'dll hell' on Windows ;-). I don't know either if modifying the loading 
of ...9.7 in for or bar code could do anything.



So I'm guessing the problem is that after I log in, the process has
a conflicting libssl.so file loaded.
Then when I try to import smtplib it tries getting things from there and
that is where the errors are coming from.

The question now is how do I fix this?


[easy] Do the import before the function call, which is the proper order 
and the one that works.


Remove ...9.7 from bar/lib64/ and have bar use the up-to-date system 
version, like python does. An alternative is to replace ...9.7 with a 
duplicate ...9.8e (and probably better, only load it if there is no 
system version).



What else should I be checking?


Thinking more, you can look at sys.modules, but this does not have any 
info about non-module libraries wrapped by modules, even if the latter 
are C-coded.

When I have analysed problems with "hashlib" (some time ago,
my memory may not be completely trustworthy), I got the
impression that "hashlib" essentially delegates to the
"openssl" libraries for the real work and especially
the supported hash types. Thus, I suspect that
your "FOO_login()" does something which confuses "openssl".
One potential reason could be that it loads a bad version
of an "openssl" shared library.

I would use the "trace" (shell) command to find out what operating system
calls are executed during "FOO_login()", hoping that one of them
give me a clue.

Re: error importing smtplib

[Eric Frederich]

So I inspected the process through /proc//maps
That seemed to show what libraries had been loaded (though there is
probably an easier way to do this).

In any case, I found that if I import smtplib before logging in I see these
get loaded...

/opt/foo/python27/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so
/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e

Then after logging in, I see this other .so get loaded...

/opt/bar/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.7

So that is what happens when when things are well and I don't get any error
messages.
However, when I do the log in first I see the /opt/bar .so file loaded first

/opt/bar/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.7

Then after importing smtplib I see the other two show up...

/opt/foo/python27/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so
/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e

So I'm guessing the problem is that after I log in, the process has a
conflicting libssl.so file loaded.
Then when I try to import smtplib it tries getting things from there and
that is where the errors are coming from.

The question now is how do I fix this?

Re: error importing smtplib

[Eric Frederich]

Sorry, only saw your first response, didn't see the others.

I compiled Python 2.7.2 myself with --enable-shared
To create standalone applications that interact with this 3rd party program
your main C file instead of having a "main" function has a FOO_user_main
function.
When you link your program you link against a provided foo_main.o file.

My python executable (called FOO_user_main) was created from python.c but
with main replaced with FOO_user_main no other differences.

I have been using this type of installation for a couple of years and
everything works fine.

I only get these errors/warnings on one environment out of 10 or so
development and qa machines.

Any help trying to figure out what is different before and after the login
would be appreciated.
Is there some place in /proc I could look to see what happened?

Thanks,
~Eric

Re: Getting "empty" attachment with smtplib

[Tobiah]

I can already say that "smtplib" is not to blame. It is (mostly) unconcerned
with the internal structure of the message -- and by itself
will not empty attachments.


On the advice of a co-worker, I tried using web2py's gluon.tools.Mail.  It
was easier to accomplish the attachment, and Thunderbird opened the .pdf
just fine.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The MIME standard (a set of RFCs) specifies how valid messages
with attachments should look like.

Fetch the mail (unprocessed if possible) and look at its
structure. If it is conformant to the MIME standard, then
"Thunderbird" made a mistake; otherwise, something went wrong
with the message construction.

I can already say that "smtplib" is not to blame. It is (mostly) unconcerned

Hi,

Can anyone please show me a workable example that can let me use
google's smtp server to send out a message?  Thanks.

Re: mail sending -- smtplib

Got it fixed. It was a very silly mistake. mssg variable had each line with
indent. Removed the indent and it worked.

Re: Get authentication error while using 'smtplib'

Well, login plain did the job:

I have this script to send an email via SMTP:

Hello Victor,

 I'm afraid I don't know much about mail servers, you need to check the
server docs or ask on a qmail mailing list.

If you really think this is a python issue, then you could try:
>>> import smtplib
>>> server = smtplib.SMTP()
>>> server.set_debuglevel(1)
>>> server.connect()
connect: ('localhost', 25)
connect: (25, 'localhost')
reply: '220 pluto.site ESMTP Postfix\r\n'
reply: retcode (220); Msg: pluto.site ESMTP Postfix
connect: pluto.site ESMTP Postfix
(220, 'pluto.site ESMTP Postfix')
>>> server.quit()
send: 'quit\r\n'
reply: '221 2.0.0 Bye\r\n'
reply: retcode (221); Msg: 2.0.0 Bye
(221, '2.0.0 Bye')


and see if there are any error messages/tracebacks in the output; but if you
still get a disconnect exception then it's unlikely that this is a python
issue.

Cheers,

Kev

There wasn't anything in /var/log/maillog. Is that where I should have
checked?

thanks very much! I tried your suggestion and it worked!

But I still wonder why gethostbyname returns the same address all the

smtplib does not issue a dns query for a MX record, if that is what you  
were expecting. In fact, the Python standard library does not contain any  
module for DNS handling.



for i in range(1000):
server = smtplib.SMTP(host)


Here, `host` is used directly -- whatever address gethostbyname returns.  
If you want load balancing among the 5 addresses above, you'll have to do  
it yourself:

host = random.choice(list_of_addresses)

If you don't want to hardcode the addresses, there are a few libraries  
that perform DNS queries in PyPI.

smtplib send mail dns resolve problem

[星星]

hello everyone,
 I am using smtplib to send email, and i meet such a problem:

my email smtp server hostname can be parsed to 5 ips, for example:
**
 my email smtp server hostname:  email-my.local.com
 ips through dns parse:
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.12
1.1.13.1
1.1.1.14
1.1.1.15
**

but when i send mail using smtplib, i was always using one ip, no
dns re-resolve happened, (for example: only use 1.1.1.12). I checked
smtplib src code, but i can't find anything strange;

here is my smtplib send mail client code:
 

for i in range(1000):
server = smtplib.SMTP(host)
try:
 server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, msg)
except Exception, e:
 logger.warning('sendmail exception')
else:
 pass
finally:
 server.quit()
time.sleep(0.3)
 


Can anyone give some tips? Thank you!

redoing libgmail interface to "smtplib" blah?

[John Haggerty]

The following program is theoretically supposed to use a supported library.
Issues have come up where the library is not working and now another
interface is being requierd to be used.

At this point I'm looking at just changing the send commands but don't feel
confident in doing so. Wondering specifically what would have to be changed
to what.

Thanks for your time :)

SMTPlib and SMTPd Performance Issues

[Casey McGinty]

Hi,

I just wanted mention a few workarounds I've come up with for the Python
SMTP modules in regards to performance.

Before I started, I was getting about 15MB/s while sending e-mail from
smtplib to smptd over a local connection. (i.e. both client/server running
on the same machine). After the following changes, I'm seeing around*220+MB/s
* (increase of 14x)

The source can be found here:
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/smtplib.py?view=markup
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/smtpd.py?view=markup

When sending e-mail through *smtpdlib*, the following method is called.

def quotedata(data):
"""Quote data for email.

Double leading '.', and change Unix newline '\\n', or Mac '\\r' into
Internet CRLF end-of-line.
"""
return re.sub(r'(?m)^\.', '..',
re.sub(r'(?:\r\n|\n|\r(?!\n))', CRLF, data))


As you can see there are two regular expressions parsing the data. If you
know that your message is formatted correctly to start with, then this step
is unnecessary.

When receiving e-mail through *smtpd*, the SMTPChannel class inherits from *
asynchat.async_chat*. The default recv buffer size for asynchat is 4K. This
can be too much overhead for high data throughput. The buffer size can be
increased with this code:

import asynchat
asynchat.async_chat.ac_in_buffer_size  = 1024*128
asynchat.async_chat.ac_out_buffer_size = 1024*128

The *smtpd.SMTP* class prcoesses data through the *smtpd.SMTPChannel* class.
There are a lot of debug statements in the module, like so:

print >> DEBUGSTREAM, 'Data:', repr(line)

By default, DEBUGSTREAM is a no-op, but that that doesn't prevent
repr(line) from being called. When variable, line, contains a large
email (multiple megabytes),
this debug step will really kill performance.

Secondly, the method *found_terminator* will also perform expensive
strings ops on the e-mail. Maybe its not possible to disable this
step, in all cases,
but for testing performance, you can override the method like so:

class QuickSMTPChannel( smtpd.SMTPChannel, object):
   def found_terminator(self):
  if (self._SMTPChannel__state == self.COMMAND or
self._SMTPChannel__state != self.DATA):
 super(QuickSMTPChannel,self).found_terminator()
  else:
 data = smtpd.EMPTYSTRING.join(self._SMTPChannel__line)
 self._SMTPChannel__line = []
 status = self._SMTPChannel__server.process_message(
   self._SMTPChannel__peer, self._SMTPChannel__mailfrom,
   self._SMTPChannel__rcpttos, data)
 self._SMTPChannel__rcpttos = []
 self._SMTPChannel__mailfrom = None
 self._SMTPChannel__state = self.COMMAND
 self.set_terminator('\r\n')
 if not status:
 self.push('250 Ok')
 else:
 self.push(status

Thanks,

- Casey

You should use thread.start(), not thread.run(). When you use run(), it
will be sequential execution, as you experience. With start() you get
concurrency
  


Thanks! Changing this method call fixes the original problem we saw. In 
the process I've run into another though, seemingly a race condition / 
deadlock.


Our email script DKIM signs all messages with pydkim. Because this is so 
CPU intensive we run the signing in an external process, using 
dkimsign.py (which basically accepts the message on stdin, calls 
dkim.sign() on it and passes the result back on stdout). We call the 
DKIM signing while preparing each message in each thread like this:

cmd = subprocess.Popen(
   ['/usr/bin/nice', PYTHONBIN, 'dkimsign.py',
   DKIMSELECTOR,
   DKIMDOMAIN,
   DKIMPRIVATEKEYFILE],
   stdin = subprocess.PIPE,
   stdout = subprocess.PIPE)
message = cmd.communicate(message)[0]

The majority of the time (80%) our mail merge works fine -- messages are 
sent out in a multi-threaded manner. The rest of the time, some of the 
threads deadlock when calling dkimsign.py. Specifically, they stop 
during the communicate() call above. dkimsign.py never receives any 
input (hangs on message=sys.stdin.read()), and sits there waiting 
forever, which stops the thread from doing anything.


Is this a bug with subprocess? Is there some way to set a timeout on the 
communicate() call so I can detect these locks?


Cheers,
AJ

Hi all,
I'm writing a Python script to do a "mail merge" style email 
distribution. I create a few python threads and in each one I call 
`smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(our.smtpserver.com)`. However, during the 
sending process, there seems to be only one connection open to our 
mail server at any one time. In other words, all these threads gain me 
no speed benefit at all!


I seem to be running into the issue where smtplib is not fully 
thread-safe, as mentioned in this thread:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-March/429067.html
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-March/429172.html

Does anyone have suggestions as to a suitable workaround for this 
issue? I was looking at the Twisted library, which seems possible but 
significantly more complex.


I doubt that there is such issue. The above discussion is not concluding 
that there actually *are* threading-issues within smtplib. And looking 
at the source of smtplib, it certainly doesn't use any 
locking-primitives or (directly) any c-extension that might explain such 
behavior.


Without more code, it's impossible to tell if there is anything peculiar 
in your usage of the lib. Maybe you close your connections to fast to 
see several open?



If all the threads are using the same server, couldn't the SMTP part be
put into its own thread and then fed the pre-composed emails via a
queue?

Oh, and I forgot - threading.currentThread() gets you the actively running
thread of course.

Each thread gets an unique name assigned anyway. Alternatively, you can use
partial to bind parameters to functions. And last but not least to subclass
Thread is also an option.

You could use the sample code in the Queue documentation at the end of

The queue is actually filled before the threads are started, data is 
only removed after they start.


Logging thread state (at least in debug mode) would be good though. How 
would I go about it in this example? The docs suggest using thread.name, 
but in my current setup I don't have any idea which thread is running. 
Something like this:

for i in range(CONCURRENCY):
   THREADS.append( threading.Thread(target=threadProcessRecipient, 
args=i, name=i) )


And:

def threadProcessRecipient(name):
   print "Name is %s" % name

   # Each thread pulls a recipient entry from the queue to process

Try logging the start/stop of your threads. It may be that your threads  
stop before you think. The above code works correctly only if you fill the  
queue before starting any thread - because as soon as a thread sees the  
queue empty, it finishes.
You could use the sample code in the Queue documentation at the end of  
http://docs.python.org/library/queue.html

I doubt that there is such issue. The above discussion is not concluding 
that there actually *are* threading-issues within smtplib. And looking 
at the source of smtplib, it certainly doesn't use any 
locking-primitives or (directly) any c-extension that might explain such 
behavior.

imaplib and smtplib

I want to download a message from my Gmail inbox with imaplib, then forward
(basically resend it) with smtplib. I can log in with both. I just need to
know how to download a message with imaplib, and what needs to be converted
into what to be able to send it with smtplib.

For a good time, go to Start:Run and type in format C<http://www.vistro.net/>

Yes, that's what it was.  Exim4 setup was bungled, so wasn't accepting
localhost
connections.  Fixing that resolved the "python" error.

try

instead.  I'm guessing that it's trying to bind to the IPv6 or some other
non IPv4 localhost instance.

The story of postwar American conservatism is best understood as a continual
replay of a single long-standing debate. On one side are those who have
upheld the Burkean ideal of replenishing civil society by adjusting to
changing conditions. On the other are those committed to a revanchist
counterrevolution, the restoration of America's pre-welfare state ancien
regime. And, time and again, the counterrevolutionaries have won. The result
is that modern American conservatism has dedicated itself not to fortifying
and replenishing civil society but rather to weakening it through a politics
of civil warfare. -- Sam Tanenhaus

What happens if you

smtplib problem with newly rebuilt Debian/lenny system

[cassiope]

A hard drive failure forced me to rebuild my main system.  Just a few
things haven't been restored; one of them is a python script which is
used to email users of important events.

In attempting to diagnose the cause, I tried directly executing the
lines inside the python2.5 interpreter:

import  smtplib
s= smtplib.SMTP('localhost')

but the second line causes  a traceback:

File "", line 1, in 
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 244, in __init__
(code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 310, in connect
raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: (97, 'Address family not supported by protocol')

This is with exim4 and python2.5 on a newly installed lenny system.
No error messages appear in /var/log or /var/log/exim4 directories.

Helpful clues or pointers to relevant documentation would be
appreciated!

sending gmail with smtplib from behind a proxy

[Bjorn]

Hi, I tried the script below to send mail by gmail from python using
smptlib. I got the script here (http://kutuma.blogspot.com/2007/08/
sending-emails-via-gmail-with-python.html)

It works fine from home, but at work not. I think it is because I am
behind a http or a socks proxy server at work. Can I adapt this script
to work from behind the http or socks proxy? I couldnt understand from
the smtplib if I can specify this somehow?

Sincerely,

#!/usr/bin/python

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

import os

gmail_user = "your_em...@gmail.com"
gmail_pwd = "your_password"

def mail(to, subject, text, attach):
   msg = MIMEMultipart()

   msg['From'] = gmail_user
   msg['To'] = to
   msg['Subject'] = subject

   msg.attach(MIMEText(text))

   part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
   part.set_payload(open(attach, 'rb').read())
   Encoders.encode_base64(part)
   part.add_header('Content-Disposition',
   'attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(attach))
   msg.attach(part)

In practice, no, due to spam.
If you connect directly to the destination SMTP (instead of your own), you  
could try the VRFY command (if supported by the server); but most servers  
just return a generic 252 response.

Can't load smtplib

[S-boy]

I can't seem to import smtplib in either a script or the command line
interpreter.

When I try to import smtp, there seems to be some kind of collision
with urllib2. I get a weird error about Web server authorization, even
though I'm not calling urllib2.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Here's the mess

Re: SMTPlib inside function, extra tab

[Hunter]

Thank you Tino.  I appreciate the help.

Duh!  Anything inside """ """ is preformatted text.  I have tabs
inside my preformatted text (without even thinking because it looks
more normal because of the indent).  I removed them and voila!

def send_mail(fromaddress,tolist,msgsubj,messagebody):

SERVER = "mymailserver.mydomain.com"
message = """\

The tabs are exactly here.

best is to use the mail package to generate mime compliant
emails and use simple templates - which could in the
easiest form just module level constants like:

stdform="""
Hello %(greeting)s,

this automated email is about %(subject)s ... """

and so on and then you use it with

stdform % dict(greeting='Mr Ed',subject='writing emails')

Thanks all,
and yes, if I use "plain" or use HTML tag "", it worked:
(1) HTML:
I use tag "" and " ", and when I reply that mail, I will
see "" tag in mail content, it is not a good option.

Hello -

I'm new with Python, I try to do a mail problem, the code likes below:

+

import smtplib
import mimetypes
from email.Encoders import encode_base64
from email.MIMEAudio import MIMEAudio
from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText


msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
msg['To'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
msg['Subject'] = 'test subject'

body=MIMEText('hello,\r\n ok',_subtype='html',_charset='windows-1255')
msg.attach(body)

server = smtplib.SMTP('mail.xx.net')
server.sendmail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', msg.as_string())
server.quit()


+++

I try to use "\r\n" or "\n", but no luck, nothing with them, I still
get a Single-line text in the mail.

hello, ok


So how do I send a multiline mail? such as :
+++
Hello,
1,
2,
ok

I also recommend trying out GUI2Exe, a cool GUI wrapper for the py2exe
program that allows developers to create executables quickly and
easily. It also saves all your settings, which is nice if you need to
re-compile frequently.

I found it here: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/main/GUI2Exe.html

Thanks, Terry, you pointed me in the right direction with the
reference to the "DEBUG".

I dug out my "Learning Python" book, to read up on the debugger, and
one of the things I came across was a section on IDLE's debugger. It
said essentially that if you get an error that doesn't make sense when
you're trying to run another program (in this case, py2exe) with IDLE,
then run the program from the command line instead.  I did that, and
much to my surprise, I was able to generate the 'exe' that I needed.

I guess the incompatibility isn't necessarily between 'py2exe' and
'smtplib' after all, but between 'py2exe' and 'IDLE'.

Hi everyone,

I'm running Python 2.5.1 on an XP-Pro platform, with all the updates

works properly, and I've created an 'exe' of it, using py2exe.  It was
distrubuted to my user base a couple of weeks ago and seems to be
working well.  None of the users have Python installed on their
machines, thus the need for an 'exe' for the program.

I now need to add an email function to the program, to automatically
send an email to a select user list when the program is completed.
I've made the appropriate modifications to my code, and the program
works properly when I run it from Python.  When I try to make an exe
out of my new program, however, I get the following error:

The 'setup.py' script is the same one I used to generate the 'exe' of
the original program. The email-related code was added to my

If I put only the email portions of code in a test program, and run it

program, I get the same error as above.

Is there an inherent incompatibility between smtplib and py2exe? Does

Re: smtplib & gnupg

[Shane Geiger]

To the best of my knowledge, GNUPG acts upon the body of the message. 
If you think about it you should realize that the header of the message
cannot be encrypted, as it will be handled by mail servers that have no
knowledge of GNUPG or your encryption keys.  I am further emboldened to
make this assertion because the encryption takes place before the
message is sent--that is, before the headers are completely formed.

Re: [HELP] SMTPlib not sending my mail

[Lars Johansen]

have you checked your mail server logs ?

Re: [HELP] SMTPlib not sending my mail

[ashok.raavi]

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem, smtplib used to send mail a while
back but it stopped sending mails.

when i run this in interpreter
>>> import smtplib
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> s.sendmail(from, to, "message")
{}
>>>

though it is not giving any error, it is not sending mail.

Any help is appreciated.

[HELP] SMTPlib not sending my mail

[ornto]

Hi, I'm trying to create an application which checks a 
dynamic web site and on certain events sends an email to me. 
My problem though is with the email task. By now I made this 
  simple test code:

#prova invio email
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(mailserver)
messaggio= "Messaggio di prova"
print mail
print messaggio
smtpresult=smtpserver.sendmail("Watcher",mail,messaggio)
if smtpresult:
 print smtpresult
smtpserver.quit()

"mailserver" and "mail" values are loaded from a ini file 
and they're correct.
The call to smtpserver gives back no errors (smtpresult 
remains empty).
The running enviroment gives no error.
So, it looks like that the program works alloright, sending 
the mail- BUT, I receive no mail! I've tried to change the 
smtp server with another one which still works with my isp, 
with no luck. If I try a smtp which doesn't give me access, 
I correctly receive an error from the program.
What might be the problem?

Re: smtplib problem, Unable to relay for

Thanks for the responses.

I solved it by adjusting the relayers list (i'm a domain admin) in 
others words i granted my pc the rights to relay.
I did this by starting the Exchange System Manager and then going to 
Servers->->protocols->SMTP

Then right click on "Default SMTP Virtual Server" and properties,
go to the Access pane and near the bottom you have a button "Relay"
in a section called "Relay restrictions".
That's where i temporarily added my ip address.

After sending the greetings mail, i removed my ip address again from 
that granted list.

Regards and many thanks,
Benedict

You're asking the SMTP server to accept mail for a user that's
not local to that server.  That's relaying.

Ah, well, that's too bad.  You can probably get it to work
anyway...

With what "mail program"?  Outlook?  Outlook doesn't use SMTP
to send mail, so it doesn't matter what works or doesn't work
in Outlook. If relaying does work with other SMTP clients, then
comparing a TCP trace of a program that works with one from a
program that doesn't work would be very informative.

> but i need to be able to do it via code.

You can use Python to send e-mails via Outlook if you want to
do that instead of using SMTP.  However, Microsoft has crippled
Outlook's automation interface in a half-witted and mostly
ineffectual attempt to plug security holes.  So, you have to
jump through a hoop to bypass Microsoft Outlook's security
stuff (it's not really hard to bypass -- big surprise there).
Googling for "python sending mail with outlook" will find you
all sorts of examples.

Ask the Exchange admin to enable relaying.  But, (this is
_very_important_) make sure he limits relaying so that it only
relays mail accepted from the _internal_ network.  If you
allowing relaying of mail accepted from outside hosts (to
outside hosts), you'll be used by spammers and criminals for
all sorts of evil, mischief, and crime.
