Example of how to send an email in Python.
Some providers (such as Gmail) will require more complex authentication steps.
At the time of writing this code, the test was successfully conducted using Outlook/Hotmail.
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
def send_email(
subject: str,
body: str,
sender: str,
password: str,
recipients: list[str],
# Default host for outlook/hotmail
smtp_host: str = "smtp-mail.outlook.com",
# Default port for outlook/hotmail
smtp_port: int = 587,
) -> bool:
msg = MIMEText(body)
msg["Subject"] = subject
msg["From"] = sender
msg["To"] = ", ".join(recipients)
with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_host, smtp_port) as smtp_server:
smtp_server.starttls()
smtp_server.login(sender, password)
ret = smtp_server.sendmail(sender, recipients, msg.as_string())
success = len(ret) == 0 # No errors
return success
send_email(
subject="The Subject of your email :D",
body="The body of your email. body!",
sender="your-email@hotmail.com",
password="your-pass",
recipients=["your-recipient01@gmail.com"],
)
