username='user@mail.host',
passw='password',
from_email='You <youremail@mail.host>'
)
mail.send(to_email='email@example.com', subject='Hello', email_message='World')
# Changing default from_email
mail.send(
from_email='Another From <email@example.com>',
to_email='email@example.com',
subject='Hello',
email_message='World'
)
# Sending to more than one recipient
mail.send(
to_email='email1@example.com, email2@example.com',
subject='Hello',
email_message='World'
)
# Attachments
mail.send(
to_email='email1@example.com, email2@example.com',

'file': '/path/to/real/file',
'filename': 'the name that you want'
}
