The :mod:`smtplib` module defines an SMTP client session object that can be used
to send mail to any Internet machine with an SMTP or ESMTP listener daemon. For
details of SMTP and ESMTP operation, consult :rfc:`821` (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) and :rfc:`1869` (SMTP Service Extensions).

that support a full repertoire of SMTP and ESMTP operations. If the optional
2013-06-23 17:05:44 -03:00
host and port parameters are given, the SMTP :meth:`connect` method is
called with those parameters during initialization. If specified,
*local_hostname* is used as the FQDN of the local host in the HELO/EHLO
command. Otherwise, the local hostname is found using
:func:`socket.getfqdn`. If the :meth:`connect` call returns anything other
than a success code, an :exc:`SMTPConnectError` is raised. The optional
*timeout* parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations
like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout
setting will be used). If the timeout expires, :exc:`socket.timeout` is
raised. The optional source_address parameter allows binding
2013-06-23 17:05:44 -03:00
to some specific source address in a machine with multiple network
interfaces, and/or to some specific source TCP port. It takes a 2-tuple
(host, port), for the socket to bind to as its source address before
connecting. If omitted (or if host or port are ``''`` and/or 0 respectively)
the OS default behavior will be used.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
For normal use, you should only require the initialization/connect,
:meth:`sendmail`, and :meth:`~smtplib.quit` methods.
An example is included below.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The :class:`SMTP` class supports the :keyword:`with` statement. When used
like this, the SMTP ``QUIT`` command is issued automatically when the
:keyword:`with` statement exits. E.g.::
>>> from smtplib import SMTP
>>> with SMTP("domain.org") as smtp:
... smtp.noop()
...
(250, b'Ok')
>>>
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
Support for the :keyword:`with` statement was added.
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
source_address argument was added.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. versionadded:: 3.5
The SMTPUTF8 extension (:rfc:`6531`) is now supported.

An :class:`SMTP_SSL` instance behaves exactly the same as instances of
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:class:`SMTP`. :class:`SMTP_SSL` should be used for situations where SSL is

required from the beginning of the connection and using :meth:`starttls` is
not appropriate. If *host* is not specified, the local host is used. If
*port* is zero, the standard SMTP-over-SSL port (465) is used. The optional
arguments *local_hostname*, *timeout* and *source_address* have the same
meaning as they do in the :class:`SMTP` class. *context*, also optional,
can contain a :class:`~ssl.SSLContext` and allows configuring various
aspects of the secure connection. Please read :ref:`ssl-security` for
best practices.
*keyfile* and *certfile* are a legacy alternative to *context*, and can
point to a PEM formatted private key and certificate chain file for the
SSL connection.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
*context* was added.
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
source_address argument was added.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
The class now supports hostname check with
:attr:`ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname` and *Server Name Indication* (see
:data:`ssl.HAS_SNI`).
.. deprecated:: 3.6
*keyfile* and *certfile* are deprecated in favor of *context*.
Please use :meth:`ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain` instead, or let
:func:`ssl.create_default_context` select the system's trusted CA
certificates for you.
.. class:: LMTP(host='', port=LMTP_PORT, local_hostname=None, source_address=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The LMTP protocol, which is very similar to ESMTP, is heavily based on the
standard SMTP client. It's common to use Unix sockets for LMTP, so our
:meth:`connect` method must support that as well as a regular host:port
server. The optional arguments local_hostname and source_address have the
2013-06-23 17:05:44 -03:00
same meaning as they do in the :class:`SMTP` class. To specify a Unix
socket, you must use an absolute path for *host*, starting with a '/'.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2013-06-23 17:05:44 -03:00
Authentication is supported, using the regular SMTP mechanism. When using a
Unix socket, LMTP generally don't support or require any authentication, but
your mileage might vary.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
A nice selection of exceptions is defined as well:
.. exception:: SMTPException
Subclass of :exc:`OSError` that is the base exception class for all
the other exceptions provided by this module.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
SMTPException became subclass of :exc:`OSError`
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. exception:: SMTPServerDisconnected
This exception is raised when the server unexpectedly disconnects, or when an
attempt is made to use the :class:`SMTP` instance before connecting it to a
server.
.. exception:: SMTPResponseException
Base class for all exceptions that include an SMTP error code. These exceptions
are generated in some instances when the SMTP server returns an error code. The
error code is stored in the :attr:`smtp_code` attribute of the error, and the
:attr:`smtp_error` attribute is set to the error message.
.. exception:: SMTPSenderRefused
Sender address refused. In addition to the attributes set by on all
:exc:`SMTPResponseException` exceptions, this sets 'sender' to the string that
the SMTP server refused.
.. exception:: SMTPRecipientsRefused
All recipient addresses refused. The errors for each recipient are accessible
through the attribute :attr:`recipients`, which is a dictionary of exactly the
same sort as :meth:`SMTP.sendmail` returns.
.. exception:: SMTPDataError
The SMTP server refused to accept the message data.
.. exception:: SMTPConnectError
Error occurred during establishment of a connection with the server.
.. exception:: SMTPHeloError
The server refused our ``HELO`` message.
.. exception:: SMTPNotSupportedError
The command or option attempted is not supported by the server.
.. versionadded:: 3.5
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. exception:: SMTPAuthenticationError
SMTP authentication went wrong. Most probably the server didn't accept the
username/password combination provided.
.. seealso::
:rfc:`821` - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Protocol definition for SMTP. This document covers the model, operating
procedure, and protocol details for SMTP.
:rfc:`1869` - SMTP Service Extensions
Definition of the ESMTP extensions for SMTP. This describes a framework for
extending SMTP with new commands, supporting dynamic discovery of the commands
provided by the server, and defines a few additional commands.
.. _smtp-objects:
SMTP Objects
------------
An :class:`SMTP` instance has the following methods:
.. method:: SMTP.set_debuglevel(level)
Set the debug output level. A value of 1 or ``True`` for *level* results in
debug messages for connection and for all messages sent to and received from
the server. A value of 2 for *level* results in these messages being
timestamped.
.. versionchanged:: 3.5 Added debuglevel 2.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: SMTP.docmd(cmd, args='')
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Send a command *cmd* to the server. The optional argument *args* is simply
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
concatenated to the command, separated by a space.
This returns a 2-tuple composed of a numeric response code and the actual
response line (multiline responses are joined into one long line.)
In normal operation it should not be necessary to call this method explicitly.
It is used to implement other methods and may be useful for testing private
extensions.
If the connection to the server is lost while waiting for the reply,
:exc:`SMTPServerDisconnected` will be raised.
.. method:: SMTP.connect(host='localhost', port=0)
Connect to a host on a given port. The defaults are to connect to the local
host at the standard SMTP port (25). If the hostname ends with a colon (``':'``)
followed by a number, that suffix will be stripped off and the number
interpreted as the port number to use. This method is automatically invoked by
the constructor if a host is specified during instantiation. Returns a
2-tuple of the response code and message sent by the server in its
connection response.
.. method:: SMTP.helo(name='')
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Identify yourself to the SMTP server using ``HELO``. The hostname argument

The server didn't reply properly to the ``HELO`` greeting.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: SMTP.has_extn(name)
Return :const:`True` if *name* is in the set of SMTP service extensions returned
by the server, :const:`False` otherwise. Case is ignored.
.. method:: SMTP.verify(address)
Check the validity of an address on this server using SMTP ``VRFY``. Returns a
tuple consisting of code 250 and a full :rfc:`822` address (including human
name) if the user address is valid. Otherwise returns an SMTP error code of 400
or greater and an error string.
.. note::
Many sites disable SMTP ``VRFY`` in order to foil spammers.
.. method:: SMTP.login(user, password, *, initial_response_ok=True)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Log in on an SMTP server that requires authentication. The arguments are the
username and the password to authenticate with. If there has been no previous
``EHLO`` or ``HELO`` command this session, this method tries ESMTP ``EHLO``
first. This method will return normally if the authentication was successful, or
may raise the following exceptions:
:exc:`SMTPHeloError`
The server didn't reply properly to the ``HELO`` greeting.
:exc:`SMTPAuthenticationError`
The server didn't accept the username/password combination.
:exc:`SMTPNotSupportedError`
The ``AUTH`` command is not supported by the server.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:exc:`SMTPException`
No suitable authentication method was found.
Each of the authentication methods supported by :mod:`smtplib` are tried in
turn if they are advertised as supported by the server. See :meth:`auth`
for a list of supported authentication methods. *initial_response_ok* is
passed through to :meth:`auth`.
Optional keyword argument *initial_response_ok* specifies whether, for
authentication methods that support it, an "initial response" as specified
in :rfc:`4954` can be sent along with the ``AUTH`` command, rather than
requiring a challenge/response.
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
:exc:`SMTPNotSupportedError` may be raised, and the
*initial_response_ok* parameter was added.
.. method:: SMTP.auth(mechanism, authobject, *, initial_response_ok=True)
Issue an ``SMTP`` ``AUTH`` command for the specified authentication
*mechanism*, and handle the challenge response via *authobject*.
*mechanism* specifies which authentication mechanism is to
be used as argument to the ``AUTH`` command; the valid values are
those listed in the ``auth`` element of :attr:`esmtp_features`.
*authobject* must be a callable object taking an optional single argument:
data = authobject(challenge=None)
If optional keyword argument *initial_response_ok* is true,
``authobject()`` will be called first with no argument. It can return the
:rfc:`4954` "initial response" bytes which will be encoded and sent with
the ``AUTH`` command as below. If the ``authobject()`` does not support an
initial response (e.g. because it requires a challenge), it should return
``None`` when called with ``challenge=None``. If *initial_response_ok* is
false, then ``authobject()`` will not be called first with ``None``.
If the initial response check returns ``None``, or if *initial_response_ok* is
false, ``authobject()`` will be called to process the server's challenge
response; the *challenge* argument it is passed will be a ``bytes``. It
should return ``bytes`` *data* that will be base64 encoded and sent to the
server.
The ``SMTP`` class provides ``authobjects`` for the ``CRAM-MD5``, ``PLAIN``,
and ``LOGIN`` mechanisms; they are named ``SMTP.auth_cram_md5``,
``SMTP.auth_plain``, and ``SMTP.auth_login`` respectively. They all require
that the ``user`` and ``password`` properties of the ``SMTP`` instance are
set to appropriate values.
User code does not normally need to call ``auth`` directly, but can instead
call the :meth:`login` method, which will try each of the above mechanisms
in turn, in the order listed. ``auth`` is exposed to facilitate the
implementation of authentication methods not (or not yet) supported
directly by :mod:`smtplib`.
.. versionadded:: 3.5
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: SMTP.starttls(keyfile=None, certfile=None, context=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Put the SMTP connection in TLS (Transport Layer Security) mode. All SMTP
commands that follow will be encrypted. You should then call :meth:`ehlo`
again.
If *keyfile* and *certfile* are provided, these are passed to the :mod:`socket`
module's :func:`ssl` function.
Optional *context* parameter is a :class:`ssl.SSLContext` object; This is
an alternative to using a keyfile and a certfile and if specified both
*keyfile* and *certfile* should be ``None``.

.. versionchanged:: 3.3
*context* was added.
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
The method now supports hostname check with
:attr:`SSLContext.check_hostname` and *Server Name Indicator* (see
:data:`~ssl.HAS_SNI`).
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
The error raised for lack of STARTTLS support is now the
:exc:`SMTPNotSupportedError` subclass instead of the base
:exc:`SMTPException`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: SMTP.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg, mail_options=[], rcpt_options=[])
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Send mail. The required arguments are an :rfc:`822` from-address string, a list
of :rfc:`822` to-address strings (a bare string will be treated as a list with 1
address), and a message string. The caller may pass a list of ESMTP options
(such as ``8bitmime``) to be used in ``MAIL FROM`` commands as *mail_options*.
ESMTP options (such as ``DSN`` commands) that should be used with all ``RCPT``
commands can be passed as *rcpt_options*. (If you need to use different ESMTP
options to different recipients you have to use the low-level methods such as
:meth:`mail`, :meth:`rcpt` and :meth:`data` to send the message.)
.. note::
The *from_addr* and *to_addrs* parameters are used to construct the message
envelope used by the transport agents. ``sendmail`` does not modify the
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
message headers in any way.
2011-12-31 01:08:09 -04:00
*msg* may be a string containing characters in the ASCII range, or a byte
string. A string is encoded to bytes using the ascii codec, and lone ``\r``
2011-12-31 01:08:09 -04:00
and ``\n`` characters are converted to ``\r\n`` characters. A byte string is
not modified.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
If there has been no previous ``EHLO`` or ``HELO`` command this session, this
method tries ESMTP ``EHLO`` first. If the server does ESMTP, message size and
each of the specified options will be passed to it (if the option is in the
feature set the server advertises). If ``EHLO`` fails, ``HELO`` will be tried
and ESMTP options suppressed.
This method will return normally if the mail is accepted for at least one
recipient. Otherwise it will raise an exception. That is, if this method does
not raise an exception, then someone should get your mail. If this method does
not raise an exception, it returns a dictionary, with one entry for each
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
recipient that was refused. Each entry contains a tuple of the SMTP error code
and the accompanying error message sent by the server.
If ``SMTPUTF8`` is included in *mail_options*, and the server supports it,
2016-08-30 17:25:06 -03:00
*from_addr* and *to_addrs* may contain non-ASCII characters.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
This method may raise the following exceptions:
:exc:`SMTPRecipientsRefused`
All recipients were refused. Nobody got the mail. The :attr:`recipients`
attribute of the exception object is a dictionary with information about the
refused recipients (like the one returned when at least one recipient was
accepted).
:exc:`SMTPHeloError`
The server didn't reply properly to the ``HELO`` greeting.
:exc:`SMTPSenderRefused`
The server didn't accept the *from_addr*.
:exc:`SMTPDataError`
The server replied with an unexpected error code (other than a refusal of a
recipient).
:exc:`SMTPNotSupportedError`
``SMTPUTF8`` was given in the *mail_options* but is not supported by the
server.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Unless otherwise noted, the connection will be open even after an exception is
raised.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
*msg* may be a byte string.
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
``SMTPUTF8`` support added, and :exc:`SMTPNotSupportedError` may be
raised if ``SMTPUTF8`` is specified but the server does not support it.
.. method:: SMTP.send_message(msg, from_addr=None, to_addrs=None, \
mail_options=[], rcpt_options=[])
This is a convenience method for calling :meth:`sendmail` with the message
represented by an :class:`email.message.Message` object. The arguments have
the same meaning as for :meth:`sendmail`, except that *msg* is a ``Message``
object.
If *from_addr* is ``None`` or *to_addrs* is ``None``, ``send_message`` fills
those arguments with addresses extracted from the headers of *msg* as
specified in :rfc:`5322`\: *from_addr* is set to the :mailheader:`Sender`
field if it is present, and otherwise to the :mailheader:`From` field.
2016-08-30 17:25:06 -03:00
*to_addrs* combines the values (if any) of the :mailheader:`To`,
:mailheader:`Cc`, and :mailheader:`Bcc` fields from *msg*. If exactly one
set of :mailheader:`Resent-*` headers appear in the message, the regular
headers are ignored and the :mailheader:`Resent-*` headers are used instead.
If the message contains more than one set of :mailheader:`Resent-*` headers,
a :exc:`ValueError` is raised, since there is no way to unambiguously detect
the most recent set of :mailheader:`Resent-` headers.
``send_message`` serializes *msg* using
:class:`~email.generator.BytesGenerator` with ``\r\n`` as the *linesep*, and
calls :meth:`sendmail` to transmit the resulting message. Regardless of the
values of *from_addr* and *to_addrs*, ``send_message`` does not transmit any
:mailheader:`Bcc` or :mailheader:`Resent-Bcc` headers that may appear
in *msg*. If any of the addresses in *from_addr* and *to_addrs* contain
non-ASCII characters and the server does not advertise ``SMTPUTF8`` support,
an :exc:`SMTPNotSupported` error is raised. Otherwise the ``Message`` is
serialized with a clone of its :mod:`~email.policy` with the
:attr:`~email.policy.EmailPolicy.utf8` attribute set to ``True``, and
``SMTPUTF8`` and ``BODY=8BITMIME`` are added to *mail_options*.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
.. versionadded:: 3.5
Support for internationalized addresses (``SMTPUTF8``).

Terminate the SMTP session and close the connection. Return the result of
the SMTP ``QUIT`` command.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Low-level methods corresponding to the standard SMTP/ESMTP commands ``HELP``,
``RSET``, ``NOOP``, ``MAIL``, ``RCPT``, and ``DATA`` are also supported.
Normally these do not need to be called directly, so they are not documented
here. For details, consult the module code.

SMTP Example
------------
This example prompts the user for addresses needed in the message envelope ('To'
and 'From' addresses), and the message to be delivered. Note that the headers
to be included with the message must be included in the message as entered; this
example doesn't do any processing of the :rfc:`822` headers. In particular, the
'To' and 'From' addresses must be included in the message headers explicitly. ::
