Python smtplib send_message () not working, returns AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_all'
I am working on a project where I have to use the smtplib and email modules in Python 3.4 to send email.
I can create the email address myself and I can connect to the server, but then it returns this exception:
reply: b'235 2.7.0 Accepted\r\n'
reply: retcode (235); Msg: b'2.7.0 Accepted'
send: 'QUIT\r\n'
reply: b'221 2.0.0 closing connection s66sm8304113yhp.2 - gsmtp\r\n'
reply: retcode (221); Msg: b'2.0.0 closing connection s66sm8304113yhp.2 - gsmtp'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "base.py", line 108, in <module>

server.send_message(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)

resent = msg.get_all('Resent-Date')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_all'
The code (direct link linked directly to) is available here . Oddly enough, the code does actually send a QUIT before actually sending any of the email bodies - not sure if this will affect this.
Does anyone know what is causing this error?
EDIT . It turns out that part of my problem was that I was using the wrong format. send_message () requires order variables Message, From, To
and my code is sending it in order From, To, Message
.
However, I am now getting this error:
reply: b'235 2.7.0 Accepted\r\n'
reply: retcode (235); Msg: b'2.7.0 Accepted'
send: 'QUIT\r\n'
reply: b'221 2.0.0 closing connection s66sm8443316yhp.2 - gsmtp\r\n'

Signature for SMTP.send_message
does not match SMTP.sendmail
. So try:
server.send_message(msg, fromaddr, toaddrs)
EDIT
You also need to add the headers To:
separately, not as a list:
for item in input("To: ").split():
msg['To'] = item
