Python • Re: Send email from python

I use smtp2go. It's free for small personal use. If I remember correctly I get 100 emails per day. Enough for my needs.
My email address to send from is an outlook.com one.

Code:

            server=smtplib.SMTP('mail.smtp2go.com', 2525, timeout=8)            server.ehlo()            server.starttls()            server.ehlo()            server.login(CONST.EMAIL_ADDRESS_TO_SEND_FROM, CONST.SMPT2GO_PASSWORD)            msg = MIMEMultipart()            msg['Subject'] = "Data from Pi (RETRY)"            msg['From'] = CONST.EMAIL_ADDRESS_TO_SEND_FROM            msg['To'] = CONST.EMAIL_ADDRESS_TO_SEND_TO            msg.preamble = "Data from Pi (RETRY)"            # Add a short text message listing the minimum and maximum values for the previous 24hour period            msg.attach(MIMEText(_allMinMaxValues))

is that python?
there are no imports if it is python
please tell me more about this code

I just assumed from the very first post on this topic that you already had the Python code to send the email and understood how Python worked. This code snippet just demonstrates how to use smpt2go as the sender.
I signed up for an smpt2go account a few years ago when working with ESP32 devices. I have never had a problem with them selling on my email address to 3rd parties. I don't think that they ever asked for my phone number.

I do, to a point, been using python since 2016, I did GCSE computer science, anyway

without explaining anything

To sign up for an account you need SMS verification, I wouldn't care as much about my email, but my phone number is different, Real Microsoft managed to get my phone from my 2FA, and called me about my Xbox

The system did used to be able to send these emails itself without the need for this script
crontab could send to a real email address, bur it doesn't seem to work now
for I used a script to get /var/mail/pi and send it to me
