send_mail.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

"""
This tool is sending mail to an Odoo instance (local or not).

Usage:
    send-mail.py <eml_file>
					<-d <database>>
					[-u <url> default:"http://localhost:8569"]
					[-U <user> default:"admin"]
					[-p <password> default:"admin"]
]

Commit odoo#ab70afb is removing the previously used route '/mail/receive'
Now we use the xmlrpc function to log to the db and the odoo's method message_process of mail.thread,
the first step on received emails.

Working version:
    8+
