def rfc822date(timeinfo=None, local=1): (source)
Format an RFC-2822 compliant date string.
Parameterstimeinfo(optional) A sequence as returned by time.localtime() or time.gmtime(). Default is now.
local(optional) Indicates if the supplied time is local or universal time, or if no time is given, whether now should be local or universal time. Default is local, as suggested (SHOULD) by rfc-2822.
ReturnsA string representing the time and date in RFC-2822 format.
def idGenerator(): (source)
Undocumented
def messageid(uniq=None, N=idGenerator().next): (source)
Return a globally unique random string in RFC 2822 Message-ID format

<datetime.pid.random@host.dom.ain>

Optional uniq string will be added to strenghten uniqueness if given.

def quoteaddr(addr): (source)
Turn an email address, possibly with realname part etc, into a form suitable for and SMTP envelope.
def sendmail(smtphost, from_addr, to_addrs, msg, senderDomainName=None, port=25, reactor=reactor): (source)
Send an email

This interface is intended to be a direct replacement for smtplib.SMTP.sendmail() (with the obvious change that you specify the smtphost as well). Also, ESMTP options are not accepted, as we don't do ESMTP yet. I reserve the right to implement the ESMTP options differently.

ParameterssmtphostThe host the message should be sent to
from_addrThe (envelope) address sending this mail.
to_addrsA list of addresses to send this mail to. A string will be treated as a list of one address
msgThe message, including headers, either as a file or a string. File-like objects need to support read() and close(). Lines must be delimited by '\n'. If you pass something that doesn't look like a file, we try to convert it to a string (so you should be able to pass an email.Message directly, but doing the conversion with email.Generator manually will give you more control over the process).
senderDomainNameName by which to identify. If None, try to pick something sane (but this depends on external configuration and may not succeed).
portRemote port to which to connect.
reactorThe reactor used to make TCP connection.
ReturnsA cancellable Deferred, its callback will be called if a message is sent to ANY address, the errback if no message is sent. When the cancel method is called, it will stop retrying and disconnect the connection immediately.

The callback will be called with a tuple (numOk, addresses) where numOk is the number of successful recipient addresses and addresses is a list of tuples (address, code, resp) giving the response to the RCPT command for each address.

(type: Deferred)

Undocumented
def xtext_decode(s, errors=None): (source)
Decode the xtext-encoded string s.
