quick python cgi to send email

Tags:

In the previous post I mentioned a python script I was using with curl to send me a SMS message. Its a pretty quick and dirty one, but here is the script I use. Since these are quick messages meant for my phone - I don’t do much with the body. And I just use this with a GET style URL, although the python cgi lib could just as easily handle a POST. So I call it like this:

http://www.domain.net/cgi-bin/sendmemail.py?to=number@txt.att.net&subject=printing_done

I use this via curl in other scripts as a sort of notification system.

#! /usr/bin/env python
import cgi,cgitb
cgitb.enable()
# Required header that tells the browser how to render the text.
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"

# Print a simple message to the display window. from email.MIMEText import MIMEText import smtplib,sys

The_Form = cgi.FieldStorage()

body='''blank '''

msg = MIMEText(body)

mfrom = "email@example.com" to = TheForm['to'].value msg['From'] = mfrom msg['To'] = to msg['Subject'] = TheForm['subject'].value

server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587) server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login(<smtp login>,<smtp password>) server.sendmail(mfrom,[to],msg.as_string()) server.quit print 'sent'
