I've attached a patch that elaborates on the usage of the datatuple
argument to send_mass_mail(). I confused myself with my first attempt at
using this function by doing something like:
{{{
('test', 'testmsg', 'nore...@coursebookapp.com',
('snagglepa...@gmail.com', 'gtay...@l11solutions.com'))
}}}
I thought that the documentation was saying that connections were made to
the server for each and every recipient in send_mail(), which is not the
case. So I took my arguments from send_mail() and constructed a datatuple
for send_mass_mail(), since that re-used the same connection. As silly as
I later found it was to do this, I think it's worth pointing out the usage
of datatuple explicitly so that people can draw this conclusion for
themselves.
The patch suggests that send_mass_mail() can be used to send multiple,
completely arbitrary emails to one or more completely different set of
recipients. I also show that you need a tuple of tuples, rather than a
single datatuple.
