import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders

smtp_port = 587
smtp_server = "smtp.gmail.com"

email_from = 'themeailsendfrom'
email_to = 'theemailsentto'

pswd = 'thereissmtnhere'
subject = "Unauthroised Personal Detected!"
def send_emails(email_to):
    body = """
    Intruder has been detected!
    """

    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['From'] =  email_from
    msg['To'] =  email_to
    msg['Subject'] = subject

    msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))

    filename = 'faces\Elon.png'

    attachment = open(filename, 'rb')

    attachment_package = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
    attachment_package.set_payload((attachment).read())
    encoders.encode_base64(attachment_package)
    attachment_package.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= " + filename)
    msg.attach(attachment_package)

    text = msg.as_string()

    print("Connection to server...")
    TIE_server = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port)
    TIE_server.starttls
    print(pswd, email_from)
    TIE_server.login(email_from, pswd)
    print("Connected to the Server!")
    print()

    print(f'Sending Email to {email_to}')
    TIE_server.sendmail(email_from, email_to, text)
    print(f'Email sent to: {email_to}')
    print()


    TIE_server.quit()

send_emails(email_to)```

so im trying to attach the file elon.png into the email and send that off

when i have it in plain text it lets me do it fine

as in sending without the attachment

[knotty pebble]

iirc you needed to use the google api in order to send emails with gmail

you can no longer use username and password

[woven haven]
