A couple of questions about smtplib?

Question

Python

Hello. There is a code:

import smtplib

# ===== === === входим в акаунт === === =====
my_gmail = '[email protected]'     # моя почта
my_pass = 'password'                        # мой пароль

# === устанавливаем связь с Gmail ===
port = 587
smtp_gmail = 'smtp.gmail.com'
smt = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_gmail, port)
smt.starttls()

# === отправляем сообщение
smt.login(my_gmail, my_pass)
    
recipient = '[email protected]'
send_gmail = '[email protected]'
message_text = 'hello!'
smt.sendmail(recipient, send_gmail, message_text)

There are a couple of questions on it:
1) how to send Russian letters?
when you try to send a message in Russian, an encoding error pops up.

2) how can I make sure that instead of my mail, the recipient sees only the name of the company, or just another mail?

Answer 1

1) how to send Russian letters?

Compose an email with MIMEText

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg = MIMEText('Привет!', 'plain', 'utf-8')
smt.sendmail(recipient, send_gmail, msg.as_string())

2) how can I make sure that instead of my mail, the recipient sees only the name of the company, or just another mail?

Google (and other mails as well) will filter this out by throwing the letter into spam if we are talking about displaying other mail. To protect against this, there are DMARC SPF records, etc.

Answer 2

The first question has already been answered, I will answer the second:

2) how can I make sure that instead of my mail, the recipient sees only the name of the company, or just another mail?

You can write anything in the From header . For example:

message = 'From: Любой набор символов' + my_gmail + '\nSubject: Тема письма\n\n Текст письма'
smt.sendmail(recipient, send_gmail, message)

Actually, "Any character set" is what the recipient will see in the "From" line. Something like this:
Любой набор символов <[email protected]>
You still need to indicate your actual address as the sender . If you try to spoof, you will inevitably go to spam.
