Here is a snippet of code which does not send to all recipients. However, it also does not inform me of this error. My suspicion is that this only fails for users with longer usernames. The two I seem to regularly fail on have 9 and 11 characters respectively. Most users have names <= 8 characters.
domain = "myDomainHere.com" admin = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" % domain adminFull = "Full Name Here <%s>" % admin def mailMsg(text, subject, sender, recipients): # From: and To: headers at the start! if not sender: sender = adminFull elif not sender.endswith(domain): sender += ("@" + domain) addresslist = [] for name in recipients: if not name.endswith(domain): name += ("@" + domain) addresslist.append(name) msg = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\n" % (sender, ", ".join(addresslist)) msg += "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n" % subject for line in text.split('\n'): msg += "%s\r\n" % line.rstrip() try: server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost') server.set_debuglevel(0) failures = server.sendmail(sender, recipients, msg) if len(failures): safeMailMsg("%s\n\n%s" % (failures, msg), "ttLadder: sent with failures", [admin]) server.quit() except smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused, sndErr: safeMailMsg("%s\n\n%s" % (sndErr, msg), "ttLadder: sender refused", [admin]) except smtplib.SMTPRecipientsRefused, rcpErr: safeMailMsg("%s\n\n%s" % (rcpErr, msg), "ttLadder: recipients refused", [admin]) except Exception, xcp: safeMailMsg("%s\n\n%s" % (xcp, msg), "ttLadder: other exception", [admin]) return The safeMailMsg() routine uses os.system("mail..."). It works but it is not sending me any error in this case. When I test by sending the same mail to myself (7 characters) and a long name (11 characters), I receive the e-mail but the other user does not. However, the header in the mail looks correct and if I do a "Reply-all" it will happily send the mail to both of us. Is this a known problem with older versions of smtplib? I'm using Python 2.2.2.
