calibre-smtp.exe unclear error

schlaft · 10-26-2022, 09:27 AM

when running this python script

sp.Popen(["cal/calibre-smtp.exe",
"-a dummy.epub",
"jonas.charrier1@gmail.com karine.charrier@kindle.com \"mailBody\""]).communicate()

i get this error

You must specify the from address, to address and body text on the command line

even after reading the doc :https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...ibre-smtp.html i dont really understand how i must use it. Any help would be aprecciated.

You need to understand how to use Popen to pass arguments. This is well documented in the python std library.

I think i found the problem, a fourth argument seems to be needed (after from to and the body)
but i dont know why (i left it blank)

did the default relay "http://retail-smtp-in.amazon.com/" use to work ?

There is no default relay. And you really should take the time to understand how to use subprocess.Popen
