Compose an email to send
Add the content of the email to send to MIMEText. You can add the subject to ['Subject'], the sender's email address to ['From'], and the destination email address to ['To'].
msg = MIMEText(bodyText)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = fromAddress
msg['To'] = toAddress
msg['Date'] = formatdate()

You can send the email created by send_message.
smtpobj.send_message(msg)
smtpobj.close()
