Clip and Ship

Question

I have made a rather large model and exported it out to a python script which runs under the Scheduled Tasks part of Windows.  The end result is a .dbf file with all results.  I tried adding the Email script to my model from the Clip and Ship example.  I really no nothing about python but I would like to be able to modify the email script to send the .dbf file instead of a zip file.  Any help is appreciated.

I got it to work, but I had to change and rearrange the script quite dramatically to get it to work.
Make sure you update the code to reflect you email address and the IP address of your mail server.
import arcgisscripting, smtplib, os, sys, traceback

from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from email.Utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate
from email import Encoders

gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)

#**********************************************************************
# Description:
# Emails a file. File is assumed to be a zip file. Routine either attaches
# the zip file to the email or sends the URL to the zip file.
#
# Parameters:
# 1 - File to send.
# 2 - Email address to send file.
# 3 - Name of outgoing email server.
# 4 - Output boolean success flag.
#**********************************************************************

def send_mail(send_from, sendto, subject, text, f, server, sendZip = False):

# Construct the message
    #
    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['vince@xyz.com'] = send_from
    msg['grill@with.com'] = COMMASPACE.join(sendto)
    msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True)
    msg['Subject'] = subject

msg.attach( MIMEText(text) )
    part = MIMEBase('application', "dbf") # Change if different file type sent.
    part.set_payload( open(f,"rb").read() )
    Encoders.encode_base64(part)
    part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(f))
    msg.attach(part)

smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)
    smtp.sendmail(send_from, sendto, msg.as_string())
    smtp.close()

## Arguments
# Path to dbf
dbffile = sys.argv[1]
# Email
sendto = sys.argv[2]
# IP address
eMailServer = sys.argv[3]

subject = "DBF file attached"  
text = "Attached is the dbf file you requested."    
sendZip = True
send_mail("200.110.100.1", sendto, subject, text, dbffile, eMailServer, sendZip)
print "Sent dbffile to "+sendto+" from 200.110.100.1"

This is a straightforward copy and paste from the ESRI Clip and Ship Script.  I would like to modify this script to attach a .dbf file and send an e-mail.

I suggest posting the script so we can take a look...
