NO.
server.sendmail takes a list of recipients. So rather than specifying
msg['To'] for the recipients, use
[address,'[EMAIL PROTECTED]']
You'll see exactly what you are sending. My emails that get sent with
Python code pretty much like yours have the proper MIME tag:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Do you have access to the server log files? Could something else be
going wrong?
My (works with email to text messaging and paging services) code:
import urllib, urllib2, smtplib, pprint
import email.MIMEText as MIMEText
(snipped the dull parts)
msg = MIMEText.MIMEText(msg_text)
if subject:
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = from_addy
# to_addy is a list of recipients
msg['To'] = ','.join(to_addy)
server = smtplib.SMTP( mail_server)
server.sendmail( from_addy, to_addy, msg.as_string())
server.close()
