Here is an email example written in Python module “smtplib”. It will connect to the GMail SMTP server and do the authentication with username and password given (hardcoded in program), and use the GMail SMTP server to send email to the recipient.
import smtplib to = 'mkyong2002@yahoo.com' gmail_user = 'mkyong2002@gmail.com' gmail_pwd = 'yourpassword' smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587) smtpserver.ehlo() smtpserver.starttls() smtpserver.ehlo smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd) header = 'To:' + to + '\n' + 'From: ' + gmail_user + '\n' + 'Subject:testing \n' print header msg = header + '\n this is test msg from mkyong.com \n\n' smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg) print 'done!' smtpserver.close()
