Django's SMTP EmailBackend allows spoofing the To header by setting
`message.extra_headers["To"]`` different from `message.to`.
No current Anymail ESP supports this. Treat extra_headers["To"] as
an unsupported ESP feature, to flag attempts to use it.
Also document Anymail's special header handling that replicates
Django's SMTP EmailBackend behavior.
New EmailMessage attribute `envelope_sender` controls ESP's sender,
sending domain, or return path where supported:
* Mailgun: overrides SENDER_DOMAIN on individual message
(domain portion only)
* Mailjet: becomes `Sender` API param
* Mandrill: becomes `return_path_domain` API param
(domain portion only)
* SparkPost: becomes `return_path` API param
* Other ESPs: not believed to be supported
Also support undocumented Django SMTP backend behavior, where envelope
sender is given by `message.from_email` when
`message.extra_headers["From"]` is set. Fixes#91.
Django allows setting the reply address with either message.reply_to
or message.extra_headers["Reply-To"]. If both are supplied, the extra
headers version takes precedence. (See EmailMessage.message().)
Several Anymail backends had duplicate logic to handle conflicting
properties. Move that logic into the base Payload.
(Also prepares for common handling of extra_headers['From'], later.)
Related changes:
* Use CaseInsensitiveDict for processing extra_headers.
This is potentially a breaking change, but any code that was trying
to send multiple headers differing only in case was likely already
broken. (Email header field names are case-insensitive, per RFC-822.)
* Handle CaseInsensitiveDict in RequestsPayload.serialize_json().
(Several backends had duplicate code for handling this, too.)
* Fixes SparkPost backend, which had been incorrectly treating
message.reply_to and message.extra_headers['Reply-To'] differently.
[RFC-5322 allows](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.2)
multiple addresses in the From header.
Django's SMTP backend supports this, as a single comma-separated
string (*not* a list of strings like the recipient params):
from_email='one@example.com, two@example.com'
to=['one@example.com', 'two@example.com']
Both Mailgun and SparkPost support multiple From addresses
(and Postmark accepts them, though truncates to the first one
on their end). For compatibility with Django -- and because
Anymail attempts to support all ESP features -- Anymail now
allows multiple From addresses, too, for ESPs that support it.
Note: as a practical matter, deliverability with multiple
From addresses is pretty bad. (Google outright rejects them.)
This change also reworks Anymail's internal ParsedEmail object,
and approach to parsing addresses, for better consistency with
Django's SMTP backend and improved error messaging.
In particular, Django (and now Anymail) allows multiple email
addresses in a single recipient string:
to=['one@example.com', 'two@example.com, three@example.com']
len(to) == 2 # but there will be three recipients
Fixes#60
Issue a better error message if message.reply_to
is set to a single string.
(Would also like to do this for to, cc, and bcc,
but Django core EmailMessage.recipients is called
and stumbles over thoses cases before Anymail's
backend gets involved.)
Fixes#57
* **Future breaking change:**
Rename all Anymail backends to just `EmailBackend`,
matching Django's naming convention.
(E.g., switch to "anymail.backends.mailgun.EmailBackend"
rather than "anymail.backends.mailgun.MailgunBackend".)
The old names still work, but will issue a DeprecationWarning
and will be removed in some future release.
(Apologies for this change; the old naming convention was
a holdover from Djrill, and I wanted consistency with
other Django EmailBackends before hitting 1.0.)
Fixes#49.
In BasePayload, ensure any Django ugettext_lazy
(or similar) are converted to real strings before
handing off to ESP code. This resolves problems where
calling code expects it can use lazy strings "anywhere",
but non-Django code (requests, ESP packages) don't
always handle them correctly.
* Add utils helpers for lazy objects (is_lazy, force_non_lazy*)
* Add lazy object handling to utils.Attachment
* Add lazy object handling converters to BasePayload attr
processing where appropriate. (This ends up varying by
the expected attribute type.)
Fixes#34.
* message.template_id to use ESP stored templates
* message.merge_data and merge_global_data
to supply per-recipient/global merge variables
(with or without an ESP stored template)
* When using per-recipient merge_data, tell ESP to use
batch send: individual message per "to" address.
(Mailgun does this automatically; SendGrid requires
using a different "to" field; Mandrill requires
`preserve_recipients=False`; Postmark doesn't
support *this type* of batch sending with merge data.)
* Allow message.from_email=None (must be set after
init) and message.subject=None to suppress those
fields in API calls (for ESPs that allow "From" and
"Subject" in their template definitions).
Mailgun:
* Emulate merge_global_data by copying to
recipient-variables for each recipient.
SendGrid:
* Add delimiters to merge field names via
esp_extra['merge_field_format'] or
ANYMAIL_SENDGRID_MERGE_FIELD_FORMAT setting.
Mandrill:
* Remove Djrill versions of these features;
update migration notes.
Closes#5.
* Update utils.get_anymail_setting to support
kwargs override of django.conf.settings values
* Use the updated version everywhere
* Switch from ImproperlyConfigured to
AnymailConfigurationError exception
(anticipates feature_wehooks change)
Closes#12
Interpret dates and naive datetimes as Django's
current_timezone (rather than UTC like Djrill did).
This should be more likely to behave as expected
when running with a non-UTC TIME_ZONE setting.
(Prep for installing backends as package extras)
* Extract AnymailRequestsBackend and RequestsPayload
to base_requests.py
* Don't define/require requests exceptions when requests
not available
For MANDRILL_API_KEY (e.g.,), look for these settings:
* ANYMAIL = { 'MANDRILL_API_KEY': '...' }
* ANYMAIL_MANDRILL_API_KEY = "..."
* MANDRILL_API_KEY = "..."
(the "bare" third version is used only for settings that
might be reasonably shared with other apps, like api keys)
