How do I schedule an email to send at a certain time using cron and smtp, in python
import datetime as dt
import time
import smtplib
def send_email():
email_user = '[email protected]'
server = smtplib.SMTP ('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(email_user, 'email pass')
#EMAIL
message = 'sending this from python!'
server.sendmail(email_user, email_user, message)
server.quit()
send_time = dt.datetime(2018,8,26,3,0,0) # set your sending time in UTC
time.sleep(send_time.timestamp() - time.time())
send_email()
print('email sent')
