10 minute mail with confirmation

A 10-minute mail with confirmation! That's a great idea. Here's a simple implementation using Python and the smtplib library:

Note: This code is for educational purposes only. You should not use it for sending spam or unsolicited emails.

Code:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
import time

# Set up email server
SMTP_SERVER = "smtp.gmail.com"
SMTP_PORT = 587
FROM_EMAIL = "[email protected]"
PASSWORD = "your_password"

# Set up recipient email
TO_EMAIL = "[email protected]"

# Create a message
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg["Subject"] = "10-Minute Mail Confirmation"
msg["From"] = FROM_EMAIL
msg["To"] = TO_EMAIL

# Add a confirmation link
confirmation_link = f"https://example.com/confirm?email={TO_EMAIL}&code={time.time()}"
msg.attach(MIMEText(f"Please confirm your email by clicking this link: {confirmation_link}", "plain"))

# Send the email
server = smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT)
server.starttls()
server.login(FROM_EMAIL, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROM_EMAIL, TO_EMAIL, msg.as_string())
server.quit()

print("Email sent!")

How it works:

The code sets up an email server using smtplib.
It creates a message with a subject, from address, and to address.
It adds a confirmation link to the message body, which includes a unique code generated using the current timestamp.
The code sends the email using the sendmail method.
The recipient receives the email and can click the confirmation link to verify their email address.

Confirmation link:

The confirmation link is generated using the following format:

https://example.com/confirm?email=<recipient_email>&code=<unique_code>

When the recipient clicks the link, your server can verify the email address and confirmation code to confirm the email address.

Example confirmation handler:

import requests

@app.route("/confirm", methods=["GET"])
def confirm_email():
    email = request.args.get("email")
    code = request.args.get("code")
    if code == str(time.time()):
        # Verify the email address and confirmation code
        #...
        return "Email confirmed!"
    else:
        return "Invalid confirmation code", 400

This is a basic example, and you should add proper error handling and security measures to your confirmation handler.
