Do you see somehtign wrong in the above code?

#40979

mail = form.getvalue('mail')

id what the user types in an html form and click submits. this can be a non valid email of course i just check if there is a '@' in the mail address.

But will the mail, gets delivered even if mail's value is invalid?

What do the mail logs say?

Can you send email using this mail server from Thunderbird, or does it 
fail there too?

My wild guess is that the mail server is properly rejecting mail because 
you are trying to send to it without an account.

Account 'support(-at-)hostgator.com' exists. It's the recipient mail address which is my personal address fot my web hosting business.

In TB yes i can read email via SSL witohut any problem.

I didn't ask if you can READ email using Thunderbird, I asked if you can 
SEND email using Thunderbird, *specifically* sending using the same mail 
server as your script is trying to do.

There is no point checking that Thunderbird can send email as 
"nikos.gr33k@gmail.com" using the gmail server. You have to check whether 
it can send email as "mail" (notice that it is just a local name, not a 
full email address), using /usr/sbin/sendmail on whatever machine you 
happen to be using.

A second question... what happens if you try to send email using sendmail 
directly from the command line? If this is a hosted server, are you sure 
that they have enabled sendmail on the hosted server?

What happens if you try to send email using the email library, as seen 
here:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/email-examples.html

instead of using popen to talk directly to sendmail?

Hey man  this worked via Python!

[code]
# =================================================================================================================
# if html form is submitted then send user mail
# =================================================================================================================
if( userform ):

	if (mail is None) or (comment is None) or ('@' not in mail) or ('Γράψε μου εδώ το σχόλιο σου!' in comment):
		print( "<h2><font color=red>Συμπλήρωσε σωστά το mail σου και δώσε το σχολιασμό σου!</font></h2>" )
	else:	
		FROM = mail
		MESSAGE = comment

		if( os.system( 'echo "%s" | mail -s "%s" support@superhost.gr' % (MESSAGE, FROM) ) ):
			print( "<h2><font color=red>Δυστυχώς δεν μπόρεσε να αποσταλεί το e-mail :-(" )
		else:
			print( "<h2><font color=lime>Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το ενδιαφέρον! Θα επικοινωνήσω μαζί σου άμεσα :-)</font></h2>" )
			
	sys.exit(0)
[/code]

Thank you! I beleive this is the simplest way of sending an email!

Until you get a MESSAGE which has a " sign in it, or a FROM.

(Sorry, didn't see this message before.)

In order to prevent trouble with this, it might be better to use 
subprocess and to do

sp = subprocess.Popen(['mail', '-f', FROM, '-s', SUBJECT,
     'support@superhost.gr], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
sp.communicate(MESSAGE)
res = sp.wait()
if res:
     ...
else:
     ...


If you do so, you can have FROMs, SUBJECTs and MESSAGEs conaining every 
character you want, including " and ', an no shell will complain about 
it or be confused.

(Note that I changed the arguments for mail a little bit, because -s 
prevedes the subject and -f the from.)

Hello and sorry for beign so much late to respond.

Yout solution is clearly betetr than the simple mail solution i found to be working but i think subprocess requires that i use  Python3 interpeter which of course my web host supports, but it would fail running my MYSQLdbd module.

So is there still a way to use your solution?

[toc] | [prev] | [next] | [standalone]

#41872

Because Python 3 doesnt support MySQLdb moudle yet i decided to use mypysql-0.5.5.tar.gz which i found in google.

problem is that i dont know how to run this file in my webost account so it cant be utilized and so i can pass to Python 3 at last.

i ahve uplaoded the file viua cPnael in webhost but then what?

How doi "embed" this in python so to make use of it?

This seems to correct th error:

if( mailform ):

I though it was a good idea to convert the message string to utf-8 since this si the way ti wants it.

but i receive no mail though....

Well, you should probably be writing to sp.stdin, not sys.stdin.

This is symptomatic of sys.stdin (well, whatever you're writing to)
being open in binary mode instead of text mode. And you're passing
a str. Try passing std.encode().

Who knows. You haven't specified how you are sending e-mail.  Likely, if
an e-mail address is invalid, python still happily hands it off to your
designated mail server or local MTA (mail transfer agent--could be
sendmail).  What happens there depends entirely on the policies of the
mail server or MTA you are using.

If python is trying to use sendmail, then probably the process would
just fail and return some sort of error code.  But you will need to
check on the documentation of whatever e-mail library you are using in
Python.

You need to post the code snippet that's failing (possibly changing
private details like smtp server ip address for security reasons), and
any exception trace that you are getting!  Other wise, sorry we've done
all we can.

It's never a good idea to share that kind of information with folks on
the internet.

Your subject line reads: "this mail never gets delivered."  What e-mail?
 What code did you use to send this e-mail?  What happened?  What
exceptions, if any were given.

I know there's a language barrier here, but you definitely make a habit
of not providing us with sufficient details to help you get your code
working.
