Hi,
I made a very simple program to send everybody I know a change of address I am
parsing the .msg files with another function, which returns a set called
'recipients'.
The code below works, but it displays all recipients in the 'to' field. That
is, in the Nth iteration, N recipients are shown. So the first mail has one
recipient in the 'to' field, the second mail has the first and the second
recipient, and so forth. I only want one recipient to be shown in the 'to'
field. It's ugly and since I have a lot of email addresses to parse (4 years
worth of emails!), it would become a very long list.
Pointers, anyone?
Thanks!

Hi Albert,
I got this to work;
#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib, email.utils
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.Utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate
def recipients():
recipients = ['happyha...@joy.com', 'y...@eediot.com]
for no, recipient in enumerate(recipients):
print "--> Sending message to: %s (%s of %s)" % (recipient,
no+1, len(recipients))
message(recipient)
def message(recipient):
body = "Dear reader:\n\nblaaaaah blaah blaah.\nSincerely,\nThe dude"
send_mail([recipient], 'Change of email address', body)
def send_mail(send_to, subject, text, server="mail.stimpy.com"):
send_from = "r...@stimpy.com"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(send_to)
msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True)
msg['From'] = send_from
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach( MIMEText(text) )
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)
smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string())
smtp.close()
recipients()
