More dumb questions I'm afraid ... I do look up in the docs first ...
honest! :-)
OK ... I'm trying to make SMTP Mail work (module smtplib) and, well, it
does ... sort of.
This is the program I'm using to test it:
import smtplib
sToAddress = "james.rocks@equant.com"
sFromAddress = "james.rocks@equant.com"
sMessage = "Test Message"
sSMTPServer = smtplib.SMTP(<SMTPSERVER>)
sSMTPServer.set_debuglevel(1)
sSMTPServer.sendmail(sFromAddress, sToAddress, sMessage)
sSMTPServer.quit()
It's essentially copied direct from the docs without all the fancy bits ...
I was planning to put it in a function so I could call it with a from & to
address and a message. As it's a warning that's really all that's needed
though a body paramater might be nice later.
Anyway it worked, it mailed me which is good but instead of getting what I
expected (a message from me, to me entitled "Test Message") I got a message
with no title and "Message" in the body and I don't know enough about SMTP
mail to figure why?
