From 95d7cb27d04bca14f98bbfc9b990488cb913df2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Tredinnick Date: Thu, 3 May 2007 11:35:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fixed #3366 -- Part 1 of the email code refactoring and feature extension. This part refactors email sending into a more object-oriented interface in order to make adding new features possible without making the API unusable. Thanks to Gary Wilson for doing the design thinking and initial coding on this. Includes documentation addition, but it probably needs a rewrite/edit, since I'm not very happy with it at the moment. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@5141 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37 --- django/core/mail.py | 201 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- docs/email.txt | 46 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 203 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/django/core/mail.py b/django/core/mail.py index e7dcfb41320..25dfe4e9c9f 100644 --- a/django/core/mail.py +++ b/django/core/mail.py @@ -1,9 +1,12 @@ -# Use this module for e-mailing. +""" +Tools for sending email. +""" from django.conf import settings from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.Header import Header from email.Utils import formatdate +import os import smtplib import socket import time @@ -22,6 +25,28 @@ class CachedDnsName(object): DNS_NAME = CachedDnsName() +# Copied from Python standard library and modified to used the cached hostname +# for performance. +def make_msgid(idstring=None): + """Returns a string suitable for RFC 2822 compliant Message-ID, e.g: + + <20020201195627.33539.96671@nightshade.la.mastaler.com> + + Optional idstring if given is a string used to strengthen the + uniqueness of the message id. + """ + timeval = time.time() + utcdate = time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S', time.gmtime(timeval)) + pid = os.getpid() + randint = random.randrange(100000) + if idstring is None: + idstring = '' + else: + idstring = '.' + idstring + idhost = DNS_NAME + msgid = '<%s.%s.%s%s@%s>' % (utcdate, pid, randint, idstring, idhost) + return msgid + class BadHeaderError(ValueError): pass @@ -34,6 +59,117 @@ class SafeMIMEText(MIMEText): val = Header(val, settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET) MIMEText.__setitem__(self, name, val) +class SMTPConnection(object): + """ + A wrapper that manages the SMTP network connection. + """ + + def __init__(self, host=None, port=None, username=None, password=None, + fail_silently=False): + if host is None: + self.host = settings.EMAIL_HOST + if port is None: + self.port = settings.EMAIL_PORT + if username is None: + self.username = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER + if password is None: + self.password = settings.EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD + self.fail_silently = fail_silently + self.connection = None + + def open(self): + """ + Ensure we have a connection to the email server.

If you ever need to customize the way Django sends email, you +can subclass these two classes to suit your needs. + +.. note:: + Not all features of the `EmailMessage` class are available through the + `send_mail()` and related wrapper functions. If you wish to use advanced + features such as including BCC recipients or multi-part email, you will + need to create `EmailMessage` instances directly. + +In general, `EmailMessage` is responsible for creating the email message +itself. `SMTPConnection` is responsible for the network connection side of the +operation. This means you can reuse the same connection (an `SMTPConnection` +instance) for multiple messages. + +The `EmailMessage` class has the following methods that you can use: + + * `send()` sends the message, using either the connection that is specified + in the `connection` attribute, or creating a new connection if none already + exists. + * `message()` constructs a `django.core.mail.SafeMIMEText` object (a + sub-class of Python's `email.MIMEText.MIMEText` class) holding the message + to be sent. If you ever need to extend the `EmailMessage` class, you will + probably want to override this method to put the content you wish into the + MIME object. + +The `SMTPConnection` class is initialized with the host, port, username and +password for the SMTP server. If you don't specify one or more of those +options, they are read from your settings file. + +If you are sending lots of messages at once, the `send_messages()` method of +the `SMTPConnection` class will be useful. It takes a list of `EmailMessage` +instances (or sub-classes) and sends them over a single connection. For +example, if you have a function called `get_notification_email()` that returns a +list of `EmailMessage` objects representing some periodic email you wish to +send out, you could send this with:: + + connection = SMTPConnection() # Use default settings for connection + messages = get_notification_email() + connection.send_messages(messages) +
