#57286 — using smtp in python

I'm trying to send an email using python. The mail content is taken from file and subject of the mail is name of the file. The program is invoked as 
    ./mailclient.py -f <from email address> -d <recipient email address> -i <file1> -s <server IP address>
.
How to i use server ip address and the mail id to send the email ? (would i require the password)

Some SMTP servers require a password and some do not.  I'm guessing more
and more do, as spammers attack.

Here's a module that shows how to do it with a password:
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/svn/mailer/trunk/mailer.py

You can check it out with svn checkout <url>, or just browse to the URL in
a web browser.

POP3 before SMTP ?

Or just IP-based restrictions (computers on 192.168.0.0/24 may relay
mail, all others may only send to the domains managed here - same
approach as is often used for caching+authoritative DNS resolvers).
