scrippy_mail

The scrippy_mail module offers the following clients objects for sending and retrieving emails:

• scrippy_mail.smtp.client for sending email using SMTP protocol
• scrippy_mail.imap.client for email retrieval using IMAP protocol
• scrippy_mail.pop.client for email retrieval using POP3 protocol

Each client are able to connect to remote server using secure connection with SSL or STARTTLS.

The scrippy_mail.mail module offers a simplified interface for sending emails via the Mailer object.

Each client use the same following parameter set:

• host: The name of the mail server to use (default: localhost)
• port: The port number to contact the mail server (default: 25)
• username: The username to authenticate on the mail server
• password: The password to authenticate on the mail server
• ssl: A boolean indicating whether to use SSL (default: False)
• starttls: A boolean indicating whether to use STARTTLS (default: False)
• ssl_verify: A boolean indicating whether to verify remote server SSL certificate (default: True)
• timeout: An integer indicating the maximum delay in seconds to succeed in a connection (default: 60)
• exit_on_error: A boolean. If set to False, any error encountered will be logged as a warning. When set to True, exit the workflow if any error is encountered (Default: True)

NOTE:

• ssl and starttls are mutualy exclusive. Using both at the same time raises an error.
• In doubt use ssl for maximum secure connection.

Sending Mail

NOTE:

• Recipients, Cc or BCc addresses must be provided as lists.
• Each email address must be an email address that complies with RFC 5322.
• Attachments must be a list of file path

IMAP operations

The IMAP client allows all operations expected from an IMAP client such as but not limited to:

• Get unread messages
• Mark message as read/unread
• Delete messages
• Save a message in a local filesystem

      # Mark message as unread
      imap_client.mark_message_as_unread(number=number, mailbox=mail_box)
      # Save message (attachments will be saved in a directory netx to the message)
      imap_client.save_message(number=number, filename=mail_file, mailbox=mail_box)
      # Delete message
      imap_client.delete_message(number=number, mailbox=mail_box)
  except ScrippyMailError as err:
    logger.error(err)
    raise err

POP3 operations

The POP3 client allows all operations expected from an POP3 client such as but not limited to:

• Get messages
• Delete messages
• Save a message in a local filesystem

NOTE: The POP3 protocol does not manage message states as read or unread. This feature is only avalaible with IMAP.

from scrippy_mail import ScrippyMailError, logger
from scrippy_mail.pop import client as PopClient

mail_user = "[e-mail]"
mail_password = "D3ADP4ARR0T"
mail_host = "imap.flying.circus"
mail_port = "995"
mail_ssl = True
mail_box = "INBOX"
mail_file = "/tmp/message.txt"

with PopClient(host=mail_host,
                port=mail_port,
                username=mail_user,
                password=mail_password,
                ssl=mail_ssl) as pop_client:
  try:
    # Get message count
    count = pop_client.get_message_count()
    logger.info(f"{count} messages are available in this mailbox.")
    # Get all available messages and work on each of them
    for number in pop_client.get_messages_numbers():
      message = pop_client.get_message(number=number)
      # log message:
      logger.info(message)
      # Save message (attachments will be saved in a directory netx to the message)
      pop_client.save_message(number=number, filename=mail_file)
      # Delete message
      pop_client.delete_message(number=number)
  except ScrippyMailError as err:
    logger.error(err)
    raise err

Convenient wrapper methods:

• PopClient.get_all_messages(): Returns all mesasges in a list
• PopClient.delete_all_messages(): Deletes all messages
