smtp-test.py

# Import smtplib for the actual sending function
import smtplib

# Import the email modules we'll need
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

# Open a plain text file for reading.  For this example, assume that
# the text file contains only ASCII characters.
msg = MIMEText("Test")
fp.close()

me = "test@example.com"
you = "mikko@opensourcehacker.com"

# me == the sender's email address
# you == the recipient's email address
msg['Subject'] = 'Test'
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = you

# Send the message via our own SMTP server, but don't include the
# envelope header.
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com')
s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
s.quit()
