.. module:: scrapy.mail :synopsis: Email sending facility
Although Python makes sending e-mails relatively easy via the smtplib library, Scrapy provides its own facility for sending e-mails which is very easy to use and it's implemented using Twisted non-blocking IO, to avoid interfering with the non-blocking IO of the crawler. It also provides a simple API for sending attachments and it's very easy to configure, with a few :ref:`settings <topics-email-settings>`.

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".Quick example
There are two ways to instantiate the mail sender. You can instantiate it using the standard constructor:
from scrapy.mail import MailSender mailer = MailSender()
Or you can instantiate it passing a Scrapy settings object, which will respect the :ref:`settings <topics-email-settings>`:
System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 29); backlink
Unknown interpreted text role "ref".mailer = MailSender.from_settings(settings)
And here is how to use it to send an e-mail (without attachments):
mailer.send(to=["someone@example.com"], subject="Some subject", body="Some body", cc=["another@example.com"])
MailSender class reference
MailSender is the preferred class to use for sending emails from Scrapy, as it uses Twisted non-blocking IO, like the rest of the framework.

Mail settings
These settings define the default constructor values of the :class:`MailSender` class, and can be used to configure e-mail notifications in your project without writing any code (for those extensions and code that uses :class:`MailSender`).
