python: smtp with TLS delivers no message

Question

I'm trying to send an email through the office365 server. The email is properly delivered, however the message is not attached

Assistance is most appreciated

import smtplib

to = "[email protected]"
office365_user = '[email protected]'
office365_pwd = 'password'

smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.office365.com",587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.login(office365_user,office365_pwd)
msg = "This is a test email \n"
smtpserver.sendmail(office365_user, to, msg)
smtpserver.close()

Answer 1

Your message is not a valid mail message, which consists of a header and a body. Try something like this:

msg = """From: <[email protected]>
To: <[email protected]>
Subject: foo

This is a test email 
"""

Answer 2

Consider constructing the message in the same manner as the Python documentation.

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

msg = MIMEText("This is a test email")
msg['Subject'] = 'Email Subject'
msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
msg['To'] = '[email protected]'

Also, I'm not sure about using smtpserver.close(). It seems the proper way is smtpserver.quit().
