Documentation

The Postbox or Gmail accepts the following keyword arguments:

1. host: the hostname of your SMTP server. ex. ‘smtp.google.com’ or ‘smtp.google.com:587’
2. port: the port number of your SMTP server.
3. user: the username.
4. password: the password.
5. tls: use tls or not.
6. prompt_user: prompt string if you don’t specified user.
7. prompt_password: prompt string if you don’t specified password.
8. debuglevel: the debuglevel.
9. dry_run: don’t send the mail out.

The all keyword arguments to send will be translated into SMTP headers, except the body is the body of this mail. If you don’t specify from_, it takes the username as default. The iterable but not string will be joined to a string by comma.
