#53559 — Cannot form correctly the FORM part of the header when sending mail

Hello,
i have written the following snipper of code to help me send mail:


=================================================================================================================
# if html form is submitted then send user mail
#================================================================================================================
if( mailform ):

     try:
         if (FROM is None) or (MESSAGE is None) or ('@' not in FROM) or 
('Γράψε μου εδώ' in MESSAGE):
             print( "<h2><font color=red>Συμπλήρωσε σωστά το mail σου 
και δώσε το σχολιασμό σου!</font></h2>" )
         else:
             # prepare mail data
             TO = "nikos@superhost.gr"

             SUBJECT = u"Mail από τον επισκέπτη: ( %s )" % FROM

             MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n" 
+ MESSAGE + "\r\n"
             MESSAGE = MESSAGE % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT )
             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("nikos.gr33k@gmail.com", "rmrcdherpbsfggcw")

             # send the mail
             server.sendmail( FROM, [TO], MESSAGE )

             print( "<h2><font color=blue>Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το 
ενδιαφέρον! Θα επικοινωνήσω μαζί σου άμεσα :-)</font></h2>" )
     except Exception as e:
         print( repr(e), file=open( '/tmp/err.out', 'a' ) )

     sys.exit(0)
=======================================================================


It works as expected, but the the problem is that it display the FROM 
part as being send from ,my personal GMail account when it supposed to 
be shown the format variable field that was passed by index.html to the 
mail.py script.

Si there a workaround for that please?

Nikos, you should change your password IMMEDIATELY!

First a couple of remarks:
1. You should add an empty line between the headers and the message (I
suppose the message does not start with an empty line).
2. It is better to do the % substitution only on the headers, not
including the message, just in case the message contains a % sign.
That makes it:
             MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n" % 
                              ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT ) + MESSAGE + "\r\n"
             MESSAGE = MESSAGE.encode('utf-8')
3. It is bad coding style in Python to use all-caps variables. Better
use message instead of MESSAGE etc.

Where does it display that?
Do you happen to read that mail in a Microsoft program?
If yes, then it is the fault of that program. Read the mail in some
other program and you will probably see that the proper From address is
there.

The problem is that Gmail inserts a "Sender" header with your account
(email address) and certain Microsoft programs use that to display as
the From address instead of the real From address. It's against the
rules, but then, Microsoft makes its own rules and who is going to stop
them?

And maybe there are other mail programs that do the same. AFAIK there is
no way to get rid of that Sender line.

That is because you changed TO in [TO]. That causes the error.

** And the \n at the beginning shouldn't be there. **

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n" % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT ) + MESSAGE + "\r\n"

You could even change that to:

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" % (FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

which I think is nicer.

There was another error in that line:

The string at the left of the % should be in parentheses, or be a single
string:

MESSAGE = ("From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n") % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

or

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

or even

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" "To: %s\r\n" "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

Another note:

I did some expriments with Gmail and it seems that it also changes the
From header if the address given is not one that you registerd with your
gmail account. So it is even worse than I thought. (In practice I didn't
notice this because I have all the email addresses I use registered.)

Now i have it like you said:


UBJECT = u"SuperHost Guest Mail από τον [ %s ]" % FROM
			
MESSAGE = "From: %s\n" + "To: %s\n" + "Subject: %s\n\n%s\n" % (FROM, TO, 
SUBJECT, MESSAGE)
MESSAGE = MESSAGE.encode('utf-8')


but i still get the same error messgae

i use '\n' though and not '\r\n' but this is not an issue.

And? What is the error message telling you? Don't just ask for help every 
single time you get an exception. The error says:

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


What does that mean? The string formatting operator is % and you can, and 
should, experiment on it yourself:

py> "aaaa %s" % 'hello'
'aaaa hello'


Now try to get the error you see:

py> "aaaa%s" % ('hello', "world")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

You have two strings on the right hand side of the % operator, but only 
one %s target on the left.

Now how about this?


py> "aa%s" + "bb%s" % ("hello", "world")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


What's the precedence of + and % operators? Which one gets executed 
first? Hint:


py> 8 + 2 % 5
10
py> (8 + 2) % 5
0
py> 8 + (2 % 5)
10

Even though these examples are with ints, not strings, the precedence is 
the same.

Go back to your code. Read your code. Does it look closer to this:

8 + 2 % 5

or this?

(8 + 2) % 5


Can you solve this problem now?

Yes Steven, according to your precedence example now i can:

MESSAGE = ( "From: %s\n" + "To: %s\n" + "Subject: %s\n\n%s\n" ) % ( 
FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE )
			MESSAGE = MESSAGE.encode('utf-8')



it just need the whole concatenation thing in parenthesis so to be 
executed first but now:


			# send the mail
			server.sendmail( [ MESSAGE ] )

or

			# send the mail
			server.sendmail( MESSAGE )

both fail.

Do you know how to find a link like this?

is there way to alter tha FROM field to the one used in the webform by 
the visitor?

GMail adds the Sender by default is there some other service that 
doesn't and use the FROM field?

Yes it ist. You did it in your code.
But gmail alters it AFTER you. So again, you did not care to read / understand the answers you got.

I'm perfectly awra of the answers given to me. I do car to read them and 
do care to udnerstand them.

I need information on how to setup my own mail server

i cannot even connect to my 'mail.mydomain.com' mail server like i do 
with GMail's.

So:

server = smtplib.SMTP(localhost)

doesn't help, i cannot efen connect to my localhost mail server form 
within my script.

An alternative is needed, one that doesnt add up things as Sender but 
uses fROM field isntead.

And you can solve this promblem by asking "How can I change the FROM field with python?" (which was your last question in this context, after you read and understood the cited answers)? ... Good luck!

Beeing serious:
Which mailserver did you install? postfix, exim, sendmail, ...?
Check that and read its dokumentation how to configure authentication.
Then you can use it.
And if you get stuck: A python list is NOT THE RIGHT PLACE to ask questions about the configuration of mailservers. Find the correct list for your mailserver and ask there!

See above.

No problem. Configure your own mail server the way you want it to work.

But remembering your attitude to security-things it would be better for us if you did NOT adminstrate a mailserver. We do not need another open relay.

My WHM uses DoveCot as enaled mail server but i have no idea how to 
setip up to work.

i cannot connect to it via my python script.

properly configure it.

OK, I should have been more exact:
To send mails you need a "smtp-server" (MTA - Mail Transfer Agent, Message Transport Agent) like postfix, exim, sendmail, ...

DoveCot is good for "reading" mail (="mailbox management", "pop3(s)", "imap(s)"). You cannot send mails using DoveCot. (You can use a WebMailService to access DoveCot for reading and a MTA for sending mails.)

So you have to find out, which MTA you installed (you have root access, don't you) and configure it.

But this is (like so often) becoming extremely offtopic.

i as root just inatslled

sendmail and mailx. i have edited the ~/.mailrc to use:


nikos@superhost.gr [~/www/cgi-bin]# cat ~/.mailrc
account gmail {
set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587
set smtp-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=may)gmail
set smtp-auth-password=my_gmail_pass_not_stupid_enough_to_wite _it_again
}



And now i'm trying  to:


cmd = "echo %s | mailx -A gmail -r %s -s %s %s"  %  (MESSAGE, FROM, 
SUBJECT, TO)
p=subprocess.Popen( cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
output, errors = p.communicate()
print( errors, output )


Any ideas please why this fails to work?
while i remove the '-A gmail' string in the cmd line then i can send 
fast mail but only to mail containing the @superhost.gr trail.

i need to be eble to send to external mails to.
