Example 1: how to send doc using python smtp
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
fromaddr = "EMAIL address of the sender"
toaddr = "EMAIL address of the receiver"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = fromaddr
msg['To'] = toaddr
msg['Subject'] = "Subject of the Mail"
body = "Body_of_the_mail"
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
filename = "File_name_with_extension"
attachment = open("Path of the file", "rb")
p = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
p.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(p)
p.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)
msg.attach(p)
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
s.starttls()
s.login(fromaddr, "Password_of_the_sender")
text = msg.as_string()
s.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)
s.quit()
Example 2: how to add a file to an email in python
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
from email import Encoders
SUBJECT = "Email Data"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = SUBJECT
msg['From'] = self.EMAIL_FROM
msg['To'] = ', '.join(self.EMAIL_TO)
part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
part.set_payload(open("text.txt", "rb").read())
Encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="text.txt"')
msg.attach(part)
server = smtplib.SMTP(self.EMAIL_SERVER)
server.sendmail(self.EMAIL_FROM, self.EMAIL_TO, msg.as_string())
