Hi,

I just want to send a very simple email from within python.

I think the standard module of smtpd in python can do this, but I
haven't found documents about how to use it after googleing. Are there
any examples of using smtpd ? I'm not an expert,so I need some examples
to learn how to use it.

See standard documentation:

http://docs.python.org/lib/SMTP-example.html

HTH,
Rob


I have read the example and copied the code and save as send.py, then I run it. Here is the output:
$ python send.py
From: fdu.xiaojf@xxxxxxxxx
To: fdu.xiaojf@xxxxxxxxx
Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):
just a test from localhost
Message length is 82
send: 'ehlo [202.127.19.74]\r\n'
reply: '250-WebMail\r\n'
reply: '250 AUTH plain\r\n'
reply: retcode (250); Msg: WebMail
AUTH plain
send: 'mail FROM:<fdu.xiaojf@xxxxxxxxx>\r\n'
reply: '502 negative vibes\r\n'
reply: retcode (502); Msg: negative vibes
send: 'rset\r\n'
reply: '502 negative vibes\r\n'
reply: retcode (502); Msg: negative vibes
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise SMTPSenderRefused(code, resp, from_addr)
smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused: (502, 'negative vibes', 'fdu.xiaojf@xxxxxxxxx')


Do I have to setup a smtp server on my localhost ?

Thanks a lot.
