[TriEmbed] Pi email using python example

[Alex Davis]

Here’s another way to send email from anything running python using secure SMTP:

Use smtplib and email.mime.text:

libraries and variables:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

mailUser = <your mail account>
mailPwd = <your mail password>
mailTo = <recipient>

example sending an email via secure SMTP port 587 to my fastmail.com account:

            msg = MIMEText('CPM was: %d' % (total))
            msg['Subject'] = 'Radiation Threshold Alert'
            msg['From'] = mailUser
            msg['To'] = mailTo
            server = smtplib.SMTP('mail.messagingengine.com:587')
            server.ehlo_or_helo_if_needed()
            server.starttls()
            server.ehlo_or_helo_if_needed()
            server.login(mailUser,mailPwd)
            server.sendmail(mailUser, mailTo, msg.as_string())
            server.quit()

Gone are the days of SMTP on port 25...
