Hello

 

Sending mail with certain characters in the body causes mail never to
arrive. Why? 

e.g if body text has a fullstop "." mail never arrives.

 

I'm using python 4.2 on windows.

import smtplib

from   email.MIMEText import MIMEText

 

 

def mail(serverURL=None, sender='', to='', subject='', text=''):

    COMMASPACE = ', '

    to = COMMASPACE.join(to)

 

    msg = MIMEText(text)

    msg['Subject'] = subject

    msg['From'] = sender

    msg['To'] = to

    

    mailServer = smtplib.SMTP(serverURL, 25)

    mailServer.sendmail(sender, to, msg.as_string())

    mailServer.quit()

    

    print msg.as_string()

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Output ----
