pip install xsmtplib
Or you can just download tarball / clone the repository and run:

server.sendmail("user@example.com", "admin@example.com", "I have an issue. Please help!")
server.quit()
Alternatively, you can connect to SMTP server manually when you need to:
from xsmtplib import SMTP
server = SMTP(timeout=30)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.connect_proxy(proxy_host="proxy.example.com", host="smtp.example.com")
server.helo("user@example.com")
server.sendmail("user@example.com", "admin@example.com", "I have an issue. Please help!")
s.quit()
