I shouldn't really post this, as I am so far from being an expert,
but I use the following script to send (daily) the email address
of a remote machine:
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
SENDMAIL = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
import os
import sys
import time
tt = time.ctime()
f = os.popen("stunbdc stun.ekiga.net 2>/dev/null")
ipaddr = f.read()
f.close()
p = os.popen("%s -t -fgayleard@xxxxxxxx" % SENDMAIL, "w")
p.write("To: gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx\r\n")
p.write("From: Timothy Murphy <gayleard@xxxxxxxx>\r\n")
p.write("Subject: Anghiari IP address\r\n")
p.write("\r\n")
p.write(tt + "\r\n")
p.write(ipaddr + "\r\n")
p.close()
sys.exit()
---------------------------------------
I found I have to add the -f switch (with a local address)
to satisfy the remote ISP.
But this is probably far from your needs.
