本文介绍python发送邮件模块smtplib以及相关MIME模块。 smtplib用于生成邮件发送的代理，发送邮件前需要通过MIMEText构造邮件内容。

发送纯文本邮件

下面是个发送纯文本邮件的例子。

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg_from='XXXXX@163.com'                                 
passwd='XXXXX'                                  
msg_to='XXXXX@qq.com'                                  

subject="python邮件测试"                                       
content="这是我使用python smtplib及email模块发送的邮件"

msg = MIMEText(content)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = msg_from
msg['To'] = msg_to
try:
    #s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.163.com",465)
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, msg_to, msg.as_string())
    print ("发送成功")
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print ("发送失败")
finally:
    s.quit()

MIMEText实例化一个邮件对象，内容为content，对于邮件标题Subject，发件人From，以及收件人To 需要以字典形式指出，或者通过add_header(下文会给出)添加，否则对方看不到这些信息。想要通过smtp发送邮件，需要打开指定邮箱的smtp协议，以及设置smtp授权密码。我设置的是163邮箱的。设置好密码后，将上述代码中的passwd改为你的密码，msg_from改为你的邮箱。smtplib可以通过SMTP_SSL 发送，也可以采用普通形式直接初始化，对应的两个参数分别是授权的smtp服务器地址和端口号，因为我设置的是163的，所以使用smtp.163.com服务器地址，端口号和服务器地址读者可以自己去查。通过生成的 smtp实例，一次调用login，sendemail就可以发送了。最后记得调用quit退出。发送一封纯文本邮件，看一下效果我们发现发件人标题显示的只有邮箱地址，没有昵称，可以采用parseaddr和formataddr对发件人信息完善。

def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

import smtplib
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr

msg_from='XXXXX@163.com'                                 
passwd='XXXXX'                                  
msg_to='XXXXX@qq.com'
receivers = ['XXXXX@qq.com']                                

subject="python邮件测试"                                       
content="这是我使用python smtplib及email模块发送的邮件"

msg = MIMEText(content,'plain','utf-8')
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject,'utf-8').encode()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to

try:
    #s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.163.com",465)
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print ("发送成功")
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print ("发送失败")
finally:
    s.quit()

这样可以看到发件人的昵称了。我设置的是恋恋风辰。Header函数的作用是防止中文乱码。 Header对字符串按照utf-8方式编码。MIMEText中参数plain表示纯文本，utf-8表示纯文本的编码方式。

发送html邮件

发送html邮件和之前发送纯文本类似，只需要将plain变为html，即可。

def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

import smtplib
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr
msg_from = 'XXXXXX@163.com'
passwd = 'XXXXX'
msg_to='XXXXXX@qq.com'
receivers = ['XXXXXX@qq.com']
subject = 'python邮件测试html'
content = '<html><body><h1>Hello</h1>' +\
    '<p>send by <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a>...</p>'

msg = MIMEText(content, 'html', 'utf-8')
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8').encode()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to

try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print('发送成功')
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print('发送失败')
finally:
    s.quit()

看看效果：

发送带附件的邮件

发送带附件的邮件，和之前不同，需要通过MIMEMultipart创建邮件实例，然后将文本，附件等通过attach方法绑定到邮件实例上，然后一起发送。

import smtplib
import email
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart   
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase


def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

msg_from = 'XXXXX@163.com'
passwd = 'XXXXX'
msg_to='XXXXXX@qq.com'
receivers = ['XXXX@qq.com']
subject = 'python邮件测试附件'
content = '<html><body><h1>Hello</h1>' +\
    '<p>send by <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a>...</p>'

#附件邮件对象
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8').encode()
#添加正文
text = MIMEText(content, 'html','utf-8')
msg.attach(text)
#添加附件就是创建一个MIMEBase对象，然后attach到msg上。
with open('./email.jpg','rb') as f:
    #设置附件名字
    mime = MIMEBase('image', 'jpg', filename='text.jpg')
    #加上头信息
    mime.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename='test.jpg')
    mime.add_header('Content-ID','<0>')
    mime.add_header('X-Attachment-Id','0')
    #读取内容放入附件
    mime.set_payload(f.read())
    #用Base64编码
    email.encoders.encode_base64(mime)
    #添加到MIMEMultipart中
    msg.attach(mime)

try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print('发送成功')
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print('发送失败')
finally:
    s.quit()

MIMEMultipart创建邮件实例msg，将收件人，发件人，主题设置到msg上。然后通过MIMEText创建html文本内容，调用msg.attach方法将文本内容绑定到邮件上。同样的道理，打开一个图片，通过MIMEBase创建一个附件实例，设置文件名，文件类型，绑定的id等等，最后通过set_payload加载到附件，然后msg.attach绑定到邮件实例上。后面的发送流程和之前一样。看看效果：

发送带图片的html邮件

想要在html中添加图片，并且在邮件正文中显示，只需要在html文本中引用图片id即可。

import smtplib
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart   
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage


def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

msg_from = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX@163.com'
passwd = 'XXXXX'
msg_to='XXXXXXXXX@qq.com'
receivers = ['XXXXXXXXXX@qq.com']
subject = 'python邮件测试附件'
content = '<b>Some <i>HTML</i> text</b> and an image.<br><img src="cid:image1"><br>good!'

#附件邮件对象
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8').encode()
#添加正文
text = MIMEText(content, 'html','utf-8')
msg.attach(text)

#添加附件就是创建一个MIMEBase对象，然后attach到msg上。
with open('./email.jpg','rb') as f:
    #设置附件名字
    mime = MIMEImage(f.read())
    #加上头信息
    mime.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename='test.jpg')
    mime.add_header('Content-ID','`<image1>`')

    #添加到MIMEMultipart中
    msg.attach(mime)

try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print('发送成功')
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print('发送失败')
finally:
    s.quit()

mime.add_header('Content-ID','<image1>') 设置图片id为image1，在html中引用image1就可以在邮件中文中显示图片了。通过<img src="cid:image1">方式进行引用。

Messge类的继承和派生关系

 Message
+- MIMEBase
   +- MIMEMultipart
   +- MIMENonMultipart
      +- MIMEMessage
      +- MIMEText
      +- MIMEImage

MIMEBase继承于Message,MIMEMultipart继承于MIMEBase。

用MIMEText发送多种附件

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr
import os

def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

msg_from = 'XXXXXXXXX@163.com'
passwd = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
msg_to='XXXXXXXXX@qq.com'
receivers = ['XXXXXXXXXXX@qq.com']
subject = 'python邮件测试附件'
content = '多种附件'

#附件邮件对象
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8').encode()
#添加正文
text = MIMEText(content, 'html','utf-8')
msg.attach(text)

os.chdir('./res')    
dir = os.getcwd()

for fn in os.listdir(dir):
    print(fn)
    with open(fn,'rb') as f:
        mime = MIMEText(f.read(), 'base64', 'utf-8')
        mime.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename = fn)
        mime.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
        msg.attach(mime)

try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print('发送成功')
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print('发送失败')
finally:
    s.quit()

大体原理和之前一样，通过MIMEText可以实现多种附件的发送。注意格式改为base64，编码用utf-8，可以实现多种附件发送。效果如下：

通过MIMEApplication发送多种附件

同样可以通过MIMEApplication发送多种附件。

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.utils import parseaddr, formataddr
import os

def _format_addr(s):
    name, addr = parseaddr(s)
    return formataddr((Header(name, 'utf-8').encode(), addr))

msg_from = 'xxxxxxxxx@163.com'
passwd = 'xxxxxxxxxx'
msg_to='xxxxxxxxxxx@qq.com'
receivers = ['xxxxxxxxx@qq.com']
subject = 'python邮件测试附件'
content = '多种附件'

#附件邮件对象
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = _format_addr('恋恋风辰 <%s>' %msg_from)
msg['To'] = msg_to
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8').encode()
#添加正文
text = MIMEText(content, 'html','utf-8')
msg.attach(text)

os.chdir('./res')    
dir = os.getcwd()

for fn in os.listdir(dir):
    print(fn)
    with open(fn,'rb') as f:
        mime = MIMEApplication(f.read())
        mime.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename = fn)
        mime.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
        msg.attach(mime)

try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.163.com",25)
    s.login(msg_from, passwd)
    s.sendmail(msg_from, receivers, msg.as_string())
    print('发送成功')
except smtplib.SMTPException as e:
    print('发送失败')
finally:
    s.quit()

效果和之前的一样，这就是python中利用smtplib和MIME构造邮件发送的案例。我的公众号：
