Question

I am trying to send email with below code.

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

sender = \'sender@sender.com\'

def mail_me(cont, receiver):
         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

msg['From'] = "Your name "

Example below:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

def send_email(to=['example@example.com'], f_host='example.example.com', 
f_port=587, f_user='example@example.com', f_passwd='example-pass', 
subject='default subject', message='content message'):
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(f_host, f_port)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo
smtpserver.login(f_user, f_passwd) # from email credential
msg = MIMEText(message, 'html')
msg['Subject'] = 'My custom Subject'
msg['From'] = "Your name "
msg['To'] = ','.join(to)
for t in to:
    smtpserver.sendmail(f_user, t, msg.as_string())  # you just need to add 
this in for loop in your code.
    smtpserver.close()
print('Mail is sent successfully!!')


cont = """\

      Here is the link you wanted.
   
 

"""
try:
send_email(message=cont)
except:
print('Mail could not be sent')
