Server.sendmail with no to_addrs parameter.

[EdWhyatt]

Hi all, I have searched the group with no answer to this particular
problem.

In my sendmail program, I would like to have the ability to send a mail
message with no-one email address in the To field.

I do this by adding the mail to the CC field via a header. However, by
the time I get to the point of sending the mail, my recipient list is
now empty, so I get the SMTPRecipientsRefused error.

Looking at smtplib.py, this error is raised by:
if len(senderrs)==len(to_addrs):
# the server refused all our recipients
self.rset()
raise SMTPRecipientsRefused(senderrs)

So, being a fool I removed this check. I then got the next error, as
self.data(msg) had unexpected data.

Can anyone suggest how I can get round this? I have attempted numerous
things, like making my recipient list = [''], but Exchange then tried
to send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Any help would be greatly received.

Cheers
Ed

So it's a restriction of Python?

What I am trying to simulate here is the sending of mail to addresses
solely in the CC and/or BCC fields - both of which are possible through
Outlook.

Ok, totally unrelated, and on that subject, I will make sure I always
have a recipient in the To: field. - hey it works if I do that anyway!

But are you serious about that RFC Compliant thing? Can anyone shed
anymore light on this? I cannot believe that (regardless of our
opinions of them) Microsoft would allow this (un)knowingly!

Thanks to all for their comments.

Cheers

Adding Multiple Attachments to SMTP mail (msg.add_header)

[EdWhyatt]

Hi all, I hope there is someone out there who can help me out - it has
to be something obvious.

I am simulating mail traffic, and want to include multiple attachments
to my mail. I have created a temporary array containing a number of
files - for now just 2.

Debugging my code, I can see that I am correctly storing the files in
the array, and then 1 by 1 adding one file at a time to the message
header.

When the program is complete, the resultant mail has 2 attachments, as
hoped. However, it is the second file attached twice, rather than the
two unique files.

I attach my code for passing the information to  msg.add_header:

(AttNum = 2)

for doatt in range(AttNum):
msg.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment',
filename=ATTselection[doatt])
doatt = doatt + 1
outer.attach(msg)

..
body = MIMEText(Text)
outer.attach(body)

Like I said, it is correctly sending the 2 seperate files from my
ATTselection array, but ultimately attaching the last file twice.

If anyone can help/suggest something please please let me know!

Thanks,
Ed
