I have used the following code to send an email as suggested in one of the post on the similar topic. But the mail has not been sent. Any suggestions?
import subprocess
recipient = '[email protected]'
subject = 'test'
body = 'testing mail through python'
def send_message(recipient, subject, body):
process = subprocess.Popen(['mail', '-s', subject, recipient],
stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
process.communicate(body)
print("sent the email")

If you need to execute a shell command with Python, there are two ways. You can either use the subprocess module or the RunShellCommand() function. The first option is easier to run one line of code and then exit, but it isn't as flexible when using arguments or producing text output.
Set up a secure connection using SMTP_SSL() and . starttls() Use Python's built-in smtplib library to send basic emails. Send emails with HTML content and attachments using the email package.
In Python 3.5+, check_output is equivalent to executing run with check=True and stdout=PIPE , and returning just the stdout attribute. You can pass stderr=subprocess. STDOUT to ensure that error messages are included in the returned output.
Python Subprocess Run Function The subprocess. run() function was added in Python 3.5 and it is recommended to use the run() function to execute the shell commands in the python program. The args argument in the subprocess. run() function takes the shell command and returns an object of CompletedProcess in Python.
Your function may not be called, try this code :
import subprocess
recipient = '[email protected]'
subject = 'test'
body = 'testing mail through python'
def send_message(recipient, subject, body):
try:
process = subprocess.Popen(['mail', '-s', subject, recipient],
stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
except Exception, error:
print error
process.communicate(body)
send_message(recipient, subject, body)
print("sent the email")
May works. Good luck.
