aiosmtplib 0.1.4

asyncio version of smtplib

Introduction

Aiosmtplib is an implementation of the python stdlib smtplib using asyncio, for use in asynchronous applications.

Basic usage:

import asyncio
import aiosmtplib

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
smtp = aiosmtplib.SMTP(hostname='localhost', port=1025, loop=loop)
loop.run_until_complete(smtp.connect())

async def send_a_message():
    sender = 'root@localhost'
    recipient = 'somebody@localhost'
    message = "Hello World"
    await smtp.sendmail(sender, [recipient], message)


loop.run_until_complete(send_a_message())

Connecting to an SMTP server

Initialize a new aiosmtplib.SMTP instance, then run it’s connect coroutine. Unlike the standard smtplib, initializing an instance does not automatically connect to the server.

Sending messages

Use SMTP.sendmail to send raw messages. Allowed arguments are:

• sender : The address sending this mail.

• recipientsA list of addresses to send this mail to. A bare

  string will be treated as a list with 1 address.

• message : The message string to send.

• mail_optionsList of options (such as ESMTP 8bitmime) for the

  mail command.

• rcpt_optionsList of options (such as DSN commands) for

  all the rcpt commands.

Use SMTP.send_message to send email.message.Message objects.
