Send Email in pcDuino by Script and Python

In this post, we describe how to send email in pcDuino by script and Python.

First let us look at send email by script:

Install the packages:

$sudo apt-get install ssmtp

$sudo apt-get install mailutils

$sudo apt-get install mpack

Next we configure SSMTP:

1	`$sudo nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf`

Now we edit the fields,

AuthUser=youruserid@gmail.com

AuthPass=userpass

FromLineOverride=YES

mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587

UseSTARTTLS=YES

To send email, using:

1	`$echo "sample text" \| mail -s "Subject" username@domain.tld`

If we want to send email with attachment,

1	`$mpack -s "test" /home/pi/test/somefile.ext username@domain.tld`

Now we begin to look at the Python script used to send email:

#!/usr/bin/python

#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import smtplib

server= 'smtp.gmail.com'

port = 587

sender = 'sender@gmail.com'

recipient = 'receiver@linksprite.com'

password='password'

subject = 'Greeting from pcDuino'

body = 'Welcome to pcDuino!'

"Sends an e-mail to the specified recipient."

body = "" + body + ""

headers = ["From: " + sender,

"Subject: " + subject,

"To: " + recipient,

"MIME-Version: 1.0",

"Content-Type: text/html"]

headers = "\r\n".join(headers)

session = smtplib.SMTP(server, port)

session.ehlo()

session.starttls()

session.ehlo

session.login(sender, password)

session.sendmail(sender, recipient, headers + "\r\n\r\n" + body)

session.quit()

To run the code, copy the above code and save to reportbyemail.py do:

1	`$python reportbyemail.py`

We will then receive the email:
