You haven't set the configuration value 'nss-config-dir'.

Don't use gmail. Gmail is the cause of your problem. As long as you use it (whatever way you use) the problem will persist. USE YOUR SENDMAIL.

DONT INVOKE THIS VIA PYTHON. Use the shell. If it works there, you can try it with python.

THIS IS NOT A SENDMAIL LIST!
Solve your sendmail-problem and then, if it still does not work from python come back with a smart question.

mailx is a MUA (Mail User Agent) used to read and write mails.
For sending mails it uses the MTA.

Nikos, I know you can write English better than that. Are you 
deliberately trying to look less intelligent?

Nikos, if you can't use the smtp server at mail.superhost.gr, or if that
has the same restrictions I may have a solution for you. This is a bit
off-topic on the Python list/group, s I will throw in a line of Python
code to make it on-topic :)

I suppose you have the following reasons to want to have the original
email address in the message: (1) so that you can see who sent the
message, (2) so that you can reply to the original sender.
Let's say that the from address was user@example.com

Problem 1 can be solved in two ways:
(a) Just put the email address in front of the subject line, like:

Subject: (From user@example.com) Original subject line

(b) This solution is a bit more tricky.
- Get a separate email address that you use for these messages, like
  nikos@hotmail.com. Register this as one of your email addresses in
  gmail. For this it must be a real email address that belongs to you,
  not a fake address. When it is registered with gmail, gmail will not
  change it if found in a From header. Make sure that Thunderbird DOES
  NOT KNOW that this email address belongs to you (i.e. don't use this
  email address for normal work). Gmail will send you a message to this
  address to verify that it belongs to you so you must access it through
  some other means, like a web interface.

- Now in the generated email you put the original sender in the comment
  and your new email address as the real address like:

  From: "user@example.com" <nikos@hotmail.com>

Because Thunderbird doesn't know nikos@hotmail.com it will display the
other one, user@example.com. Make sure that the email address doesn't
contain a quote character. Better still check that only legal characters
are used.

Problem 2 can easily be solved by adding a Reply-To header with the
original from address. Gmail will not change this.

So the code becomes something like:

MESSAGE = "From: \"{0}\" <nikos@hotmail.com>\r\n" "Reply-To: {0}\r\n" "To: {1}\r\n" "Subject: (From {0}) {2}\r\n\r\n{3}\r\n".format(FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

In my opinion a better solution would be to filter your mesaage through
procmail or similar on your receiving computer. For example put the from
address in an X-From header and let the filter replace the From header
with the address from the X-From.

Hello Piet,

I'am not sure what you mean by registering a mail address with GMail.
Do you mean to add more that one mail account addresses within my GMail 
account?

If you mean that i must tell you that in the pop settinsg inside my 
gmail.com account i use nikos@superhost.gr and nikos@ath.forthnet.gr as 
other sending nad retrival mail accounts.

Is this what you mean?


> So the code becomes something like:
> MESSAGE = "From: \"{0}\" <nikos@hotmail.com>\r\n" "Reply-To: {0}\r\n" "To: {1}\r\n" "Subject: (From {0}) {2}\r\n\r\n{3}\r\n".format(FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

If you mean the above then i just have tried, but still not mail gets send.


MESSAGE = "From: \"{0}\" <nikos@ath.forthnet.gr>\r\n" "Reply-To: 
{0}\r\n" "To: {1}\r\n" "Subject: (From {0}) {2}\r\n\r\n{3}\r\n".format( 
FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE )
MESSAGE = MESSAGE.encode('utf-8')
		
# open Gmail's SMTP server
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()

# next, log in to the server
server.login("my_personal@gmail.com", "my_password")


Please elaborate further, thank you.

The first thing you should do then is to look up the documentation of
sendmail. http://docs.python.org/ has a good index where you can look
for sendmail.

i used retrieval of 'nikosatsuperhost.gr' within GMail's service.

Same way of dispalyment there too.

I think it's logical to act that way.

The real 'FROM' address that GMail uses to send mail from my 'mail.py' to some recipient is my real GMail's account address, and not the FROM address that any arbitrary poster posts in a html webform hwich can be totally fake,  i.e. jackass@hahaha.com

I believe any kind of mail client will be have this way.
We need some way to dicth the Sender FROM string or alter it to the one uses in the webform.

When did Microsoft take over Thunderbird's development????

In any case, Thunderbird has te ability to display the actual message
received.  See menu:

I meant i'm using ThunderBird and not Outlook Express.

I doesn't matter what the mail headers say but the actual presentation 
of the email which state always that it was sent by my personal GMail 
address and not from the mail address that was posted int he webform

One way to distinguish a bug in the python logic and in gmail, from a
bug in the mail reader is to examine the message source.  Others may be
able to guess what it looks like, but I cannot.

I think it is not, see my other post on this subject.

No, it's not, as I explained. Gmail uses the From address that you
specified, but added the Sender header with your Gmail account in it.
Now your email agent usesdisplays the Sender address as the From, which
is misleading.

No, my mail client doesn'tdo that.

You cannot ditch the Send from the sent email, as this is something
Gmail automatically provides. Maybe as some kind of spam detector, which
is reasonable. Actually providing the Sender in situations like this is
what the RFC requires, so Gmail is totally, completely correct in doing
this. The problem is completely on the receiving side, but Dave has told
you how to solve it.

Yes, use/setup your own mailserver. Google will not allow you to send
as ("i.e., From:") an arbitrary address besides the one you've
authenticated as.

Hello Heiko,

You mean to ditch Google's SMTP server and use 'mail.superhost.gr' ?

Are you sure the same thing wont happen there too?

Webhost <http://superhost.gr>

Just try it. In your email program, let it show all headers. Or if you don't trust that, just let the mail be sent to me. I can see exactly how it is.

Actually, it does allow you. Only it adds the "Sender" header with your
email address.

The Sender field is to be used when the message is sent by another
person than the author of the message. For example when John@example.com
writes an email, but the actual sending of the email is done by his
secretary Charles@example.com, the following headers should be present.

From: John@example.com Sender: Charles@example.com

The mail agent should display John as the originator of the email, and
replies should go to him, unless the user chooses differently. However,
when there is an error in the transmission, error messages should go to
Charles.

At least that is what the RFC's say. And I think that is the logical way
to do it. Now some Microsoft mail programs will send replies to Charles,
which is incorrect.

#53641 — How to exit a cgi file after a download

Python help.

I use the following code in a cgi file
to give the client a download link to 
download a file.

---

print "%s" % ('<a href = "Setup.zip"> Down 
Load </a>')

----

A click on "Down Load" opens a pop up browser 
window which allows the user to choose where 
to download the "Setup.zip" file, then after 
the download, the pop up window closes.

My problem is that I want the cgi form, which 
contains the link, to also close after the 
download.  The only way I can figure out to 
close the cgi window is to give the user a 
button to close it.  

Without closing it, the client can download 
again and forever if they choose to because 
the cgi window is open and the link is still 
active. 

I am trying to find a way to close the cgi 
file or call another file after the download 
without adding a close button and asking the 
client to close the window.
