ok this works

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

smtp_server = '172.17.1.5'
smtp_user = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
smtp_connection = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server)
email_body = 'This is a test email sent using Python.'
email_message = MIMEText(email_body)
email_message['Subject'] = 'Test Email'
email_message['From'] = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
email_message['To'] = 'robert.wild@domain.com'
smtp_connection.sendmail(smtp_user, 'robert.wild@domain.com', email_message.as_string())
smtp_connection.quit()

but as ive already stated the “to” address cant i use that in the “smtp_connection.sendmail”

thanks,
rob

EDIT - i deleted the “to” line and still works

this is throwing a syntax error, can you help me whats wrong with this command

une = subprocess.run(f'powershell.exe $cred = Import-CliXml -Path C:\\python\\cred.xml; Get-aduser -credential $cred -server {form.dom.data} -identity {form.un.data} -properties * | select-object -expandproperty mail)

basically i want to save that powershell command into variable “une” which is the usernames email address ie robert.wild@domain.com

thanks,
rob

you missed closing a single quote after “main” in the end.

une.stdout.strip() will remove all whitespace at the beginning and end of the string.
