exceptions.EpistoleError

An EpistoleError reports an error reply from a mail service, or a network failure.

Usage

Source

exceptions.EpistoleError(
    message,
    /,
    *,
    backend=None,
)

Epistole raises TypeError or ValueError instead for a mistake it finds before any network call. A retry loop catches the transient set (ThrottledError, TransportError, ProviderError) by name. See ADR-0004.

Attributes

backend: Backend | None

The backend the error came from. Connection.send and Backend.connect set it, so it is None only on an error inspected before it propagates.

__reduce__()

Pickle through _rebuild, so unpickling skips __init__.

Usage

Source

__reduce__()

With the default reduction, unpickling calls cls(message), which raises TypeError for RecipientsRefusedError because refused is required. A process pool would then raise BrokenProcessPool instead of the refusal. As with any exception, pickling drops __cause__, __context__ and __traceback__.
