[TriEmbed] programmatic email with a Raspberry Pi or the like

[Adam Haile]

I knew I had it working with gmail...
Try this out:
_username = "user"
_password = "password"
_fromname = "Your Name"



def send_msg(_to_addr, _subject, _body):
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
    server.starttls()
    server.login(_username, _password)

    print "To: %s" % _to_addr
    print "Subject: %s" %_subject

    msg = MIMEText(_body)
    msg['Subject'] = _subject
    msg['From'] = email.utils.formataddr((_fromname, _username))
    msg['To'] = _to_addr

    server.sendmail(_username, [_to_addr], msg.as_string())
