Re: Email List

[Fred Stluka]

David, There may be a package that does it all for you.  But if not, you can create a model that stores email addresses and send to those addresses via the Django mail package.  See docs at: - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/ Here's what my code to send email looks like: from django.core.mail import EmailMessage, EmailMultiAlternatives def send(to, subject, body="", cc=[], bcc=[], html_body=None):     try:         # Pulls implicitly from settings.py, but can each be overridden here.         #       EMAIL_HOST         #       EMAIL_PORT         #       EMAIL_HOST_USER         #       EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD         #       EMAIL_USE_TLS         #       DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL         if html_body:             email_message = EmailMultiAlternatives()         else:             email_message = EmailMessage()         email_message.to = to         email_message.cc = cc         email_message.bcc = bcc         email_message.subject = subject         email_message.body=body         if html_body:             email_message.attach_alternative(html_body, "text/html")         email_message.send(fail_silently=False)         success = True     except smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected as e:         msg = u'Unable to connect to SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused as e:         msg = u'The SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' refused to send e-mail from ' + unicode(e.sender)         msg += u' when asked to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPRecipientsRefused as e:         msg = u'The SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' refused to send e-mail to recipients ' + unicode(e.recipients)         msg += u' when asked to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPDataError as e:         msg = u'The SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' refused to accept the message data'         msg += u' when asked to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPConnectError as e:         msg = u'Could not establish a connection with the'         msg += u' SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPHeloError as e:         msg = u'The SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' refused our HELO message'         msg += u' when sending e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError as e:         msg = u'Unable to authenticate with SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' when sending e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPResponseException as e:         msg = u'The SMTP server ' + settings.EMAIL_HOST         msg += u' returned: (' + unicode(e.smtp_code) + u') ' + unicode(e.smtp_error)         msg += u' when sending e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except smtplib.SMTPException as e:         msg = u'Unable to send e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         exception = e     except BaseException as e:         msg = u'An unexpected error occurred '         msg += u' when sending e-mail to ' + unicode(email_message.to)         msg += u' during step: "' + progress + u'"'         exception = e     finally:         if not success:             raise EmailException(msg, exception) --Fred Fred Stluka -- mailto:f...@bristle.com -- http://bristle.com/~fred/ Bristle Software, Inc -- http://bristle.com -- Glad to be of service!

However, being somewhat new to Django I am assure how to create a bulk email list form this to send to the appropriate people. I have read various documents on this and have ended up somewhat confused. Could someone please offer me some enlightenment as to the best way to do this?
