This mail never gets delivered. Any ideas why?

Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn't ask, would you?

Thank you! I beleive this is the simplest way of sending an email!

Until you get a MESSAGE which has a " sign in it, or a FROM.

(Sorry, didn't see this message before.)

In order to prevent trouble with this, it might be better to use
subprocess and to do

sp = subprocess.Popen(['mail', '-f', FROM, '-s', SUBJECT,
'(e-mail address removed)], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
sp.communicate(MESSAGE)
res = sp.wait()
if res:
...
else:
...


If you do so, you can have FROMs, SUBJECTs and MESSAGEs conaining every
character you want, including " and ', an no shell will complain about
it or be confused.

(Note that I changed the arguments for mail a little bit, because -s
prevedes the subject and -f the from.)

Hello and sorry for beign so much late to respond.

Yout solution is clearly betetr than the simple mail solution i found to beworking but i think subprocess requires that i use Python3 interpeter which of course my web host supports, but it would fail running my MYSQLdbd module.

So is there still a way to use your solution?

 

[Íßêïò Ãêñ33ê]

Because Python 3 doesnt support MySQLdb moudle yet i decided to use mypysql-0.5.5.tar.gz which i found in google.

problem is that i dont know how to run this file in my webost account so it cant be utilized and so i can pass to Python 3 at last.

i ahve uplaoded the file viua cPnael in webhost but then what?

How doi "embed" this in python so to make use of it?

I'am receiving this now after some tries:

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

139 else:

143 if status:

Well, you should probably be writing to sp.stdin, not sys.stdin.

| self = <subprocess.Popen object>, self.stdin = <_io.BufferedWriter name=5>, self.stdin.write = <built-in method write of _io.BufferedWriter object>, input = 'kdsjfksdjkfjksdjfs\r\n\t'

This is symptomatic of sys.stdin (well, whatever you're writing to)
being open in binary mode instead of text mode. And you're passing
a str. Try passing std.encode().
