'''SMTP/ESMTP client class.
This should follow RFC 821 (SMTP), RFC 1869 (ESMTP), RFC 2554 (SMTP
Authentication) and RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP over TLS).
Notes:
Please remember, when doing ESMTP, that the names of the SMTP service
extensions are NOT the same thing as the option keywords for the RCPT
and MAIL commands!
Example:
>>> import smtplib
>>> s=smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> print(s.help())
This is Sendmail version 8.8.4
Topics:
HELO EHLO MAIL RCPT DATA
RSET NOOP QUIT HELP VRFY
EXPN VERB ETRN DSN
For more info use "HELP <topic>".
To report bugs in the implementation send email to
sendmail-bugs@sendmail.org.
For local information send email to Postmaster at your site.
End of HELP info
>>> s.putcmd("vrfy","someone@here")
>>> s.getreply()
(250, "Somebody OverHere <somebody@here.my.org>")
>>> s.quit()

SMTPRecipientsRefused The server rejected ALL recipients
(no mail was sent).
SMTPSenderRefused The server didn't accept the from_addr.
SMTPDataError The server replied with an unexpected
error code (other than a refusal of
a recipient).
SMTPNotSupportedError The mail_options parameter includes 'SMTPUTF8'
but the SMTPUTF8 extension is not supported by
the server.
Note: the connection will be open even after an exception is raised.
Example:
>>> import smtplib
>>> s=smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> tolist=["one@one.org","two@two.org","three@three.org","four@four.org"]
>>> msg = '''\\
... From: Me@my.org
... Subject: testin'...
...
... This is a test '''
>>> s.sendmail("me@my.org",tolist,msg)
{ "three@three.org" : ( 550 ,"User unknown" ) }
>>> s.quit()
In the above example, the message was accepted for delivery to three
of the four addresses, and one was rejected, with the error code
550. If all addresses are accepted, then the method will return an
empty dictionary.

The arguments are as for sendmail, except that msg is an

None, these arguments are taken from the headers of the Message as
described in RFC 2822 (a ValueError is raised if there is more than
one set of 'Resent-' headers). Regardless of the values of from_addr and
to_addr, any Bcc field (or Resent-Bcc field, when the Message is a
resent) of the Message object won't be transmitted. The Message
object is then serialized using email.generator.BytesGenerator and
sendmail is called to transmit the message. If the sender or any of
the recipient addresses contain non-ASCII and the server advertises the
SMTPUTF8 capability, the policy is cloned with utf8 set to True for the
serialization, and SMTPUTF8 and BODY=8BITMIME are asserted on the send.
If the server does not support SMTPUTF8, an SMTPNotSupported error is
raised. Otherwise the generator is called without modifying the
policy.
