# The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()

# Set the SMTP server.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.chilkatsoft.com")

# Set the SMTP login/password (if required)

# Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
# The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
# open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
# same connection.  
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
if (success != True):
    print(mailman.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
# the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
# call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
# Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
# not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
# for the example:
success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
if (success != True):
    print("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")

print("Mail Sent!")
