Mailtools

Writing a web application? Want to send some emails from it? Mailtools is an application that can help you with that!

* Simple API for sending plain text messages, HTML and messages with attachments.
* ThreadedMailer sends emails in the background and returns control to your application immediately, even when talking to slow remote servers.
* Temporary sending failures are automatically retried.
* Running your application in test mode? The RedirectMessages wrapper routes emails to a test address and not to live email addresses.

Usage:

Creating a simple SMTP mailer:

from mailtools import SMTPMailer
mailer = SMTPMailer('127.0.0.1')

This mailer will block until messages are sent and won't retry failures. Use ThreadedMailer to fix this:

mailer = ThreadedMailer(SMTPMailer('127.0.0.1'))

Sending a plain text message:

message = u'This is a plain text message'
mailer.send_plain(
 u'sender@example.com',
 [u'recipient@example.com'],
 u'hi',
 message
)

Sending an HTML message:

message = u'Look! HTML!'
mailer.send_html(
 u'sender@example.com',
 [u'recipient@example.com'],
 u'hi',
 message
)

Adding attachments:

message = u'index.rst is attached to this message'
mailer.send_plain(
 u'sender@example.com',
 [u'recipient@example.com'],
 u'hi',
 message,
 attachments=['index.rst']
)
