Subject line not coming in the smtp mail sent from python

Question

My code is running and sending the mail. But To and Subject are not coming in the mail. Here is a snippet of the code i used. What could be the issue?

Code :

   username = "N@EXAMPLE.com"
   password = "fnEOFINO”


   print("Logged in")

   sender = 'n@example.com'
   receivers = 'T@example.com'
   message = """From: Neeraja Rajiv  <NRajiv@EXAMPLE.com>
   To: T@EXAMPLE.COM 
   Subject: SMTP e-mail test

   Overall
   %d
                                               """%(variable)
   print("Connecting to server")

   server = smtplib.SMTP('SMTP-********.com', 25)
   print("Connected to server")
   server.set_debuglevel (1)
   server.sendmail(sender,receivers,message)         
   print ("Successfully sent email")

In the Email, subject is missing.

Any approaches/suggestions are most welcome.

Doesn't it get attached as a string?Also I tried removing the quotes.If I put the to and subject in the same line as from, it appears in the from line, all three. If i insert a space between from and to the "To" and "Subject" becomes a part of the mail — user45255, Jul 31 '14 at 11:07
Hi Padraic. I just wanted to convey that i am passing a variable.This code works fine as a standalone code. But am trying to make a sendmail function. This does not work becausewhile defining inside the function somehow the indentation creates a problem. It doesn't display To and Subject — user45255, Jul 31 '14 at 14:10
without seeing your function it is impossible to tell the issue — Padraic Cunningham, Jul 31 '14 at 15:45

I think your problem lies in how you have created your message, the corrected version works using it with the example code below:

msg = """From: 'From Neeraja Rajiv  <NRajiv@EXAMPLE.com>'
To: 'To Toffet Joseph - Consultant <TJoseph@EXAMPLE.com>'
Subject: 'SMTP e-mail test'
Overall'{}'""".format(variable)

username = "foo"
password = "bar"

print("Logged in")

import smtplib
sender = "foo@gmail.com"
receivers = "bar@gmail.com"
msg = """From: 'From Neeraja Rajiv  <NRajiv@EXAMPLE.com>'
To: 'To Toffet Joseph - Consultant <TJoseph@EXAMPLE.com>'
Subject: 'SMTP e-mail test'"""

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(username, password)
server.sendmail(sender, receivers , msg)
server.quit()

Tried this. The subject still doesn't appear – user45255 Jul 31 '14 at 11:37 — user45255, Jul 31 '14 at 11:37

Padraic Cunningham example looks correct. Here is another example. Maybe this might help...

Sample Email To SMTP Server Python Script:

import smtplib

try:

host = '?.?.?.?'                                              #The Address To Your SMTP Server...
port = 25

to = 'reciever@someplace.com'                                 #Reciever Of Email...
from_addr = 'sender@someplace.com'                            #Sender Of Email...

subject = '<YOUR SUBJECT HERE>'                               #Subject Of Email...

text_line_1 = 'Body Line 1...\r\n'                            #Body Of Email...
text_line_2 = '\r\n'
text_line_3 = 'Body Line 3...\r\n'
text_line_4 = '\r\n'
text_line_5 = 'Body Line 5...\r\n'

total_message = text_line_1 + text_line_2 + text_line_3 + text_line_4 + text_line_5 

msg = "From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s" % (from_addr, [to], subject, total_message)

server = smtplib.SMTP(host, port)
server.sendmail(from_addr, to, msg)

print('Successfully Sent Email...')

except Exception as e: print('Exception: ' + str(e))

Good Luck...
