Try to insert it directly, this way you can insert multiple images at various locations in the email. <img src=”data:image/jpg;base64,{{base64-data-string here}}” /> And to make this post usefully for others to: If you don’t have a base64-data string, create one easily at: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp from a image file. Email source code looks something like this, but … Read more
I encode the characters as HTML entities (something like this). It doesn’t require JS to be enabled and seems to have stopped most of the spam. I suppose a smart bot might still harvest it, but I haven’t had any problems.
FWIW, here is the Java code we use to validate email addresses. The Regexp’s are very similar: public static final Pattern VALID_EMAIL_ADDRESS_REGEX = Pattern.compile(“^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,6}$”, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); public static boolean validate(String emailStr) { Matcher matcher = VALID_EMAIL_ADDRESS_REGEX.matcher(emailStr); return matcher.find(); } Works fairly reliably.
I know it’s working for you now @Vantheman6 but this is what worked for me in case it’s the same for someone else. I added to my .env file the details of the mail service I am using. So make sure the following details MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME=MyUsername@gmail.com MAIL_PASSWORD=MyPassword in the .env file are accurate. … Read more
When you are sending an e-mail through a server that requires SMTP Auth, you really need to specify it, and set the host, username and password (and maybe the port if it is not the default one – 25). For example, I usually use PHPMailer with similar settings to this ones: $mail = new PHPMailer(); … Read more
So, over SMTP when a message is submitted, the SMTP envelope (sender, recipients, etc.) is different from the actual data of the message. The Sender header is used to identify in the message who submitted it. This is usually the same as the From header, which is who the message is from. However, it can … Read more
mail can represent quite a couple of programs on a linux system. What you want behind it is either sendmail or postfix. I recommend the latter. You can install it via your favorite package manager. Then you have to configure it, and once you have done that, you can send email like this: echo “My … Read more
I use Gmail as my SMTP server for Django. Much easier than dealing with postfix or whatever other server. I’m not in the business of managing email servers. In settings.py: EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = ‘smtp.gmail.com’ EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_HOST_USER = ‘me@gmail.com’ EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ‘password’ NOTE: In 2016 Gmail is not allowing this anymore by … Read more
Let’s start with a simple example. Let’s say you have an email list, that is going to send out the following RFC2822 content. From: <coolstuff@mymailinglist.example> To: <you@example.com> Subject: Super simple email Reply-To: <coolstuff-threadId=123@mymailinglist.example> This is a very simple body. Now, let’s say you are going to send it from a mailing list, that implements VERP … Read more
