I use zabbix as a monitor, but i have a problem, when the zabbix send Alarm email,then the email would send by SMS to my iphone. If the email title is Japanese or Chinese. the sms is Disorder Code. Here is the scripts,how to modify it?

#!/usr/bin/python26
#coding:utf-8
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import sys
mail_host = 'smtp.189.cn'
mail_user = 'Tom_a'
mail_pass = '123456'
mail_postfix = '189.cn'
def send_mail(to_list,subject,content):
  me = mail_user+"<"+mail_user+"@"+mail_postfix+">"
  msg = MIMEText(content,_subtype='plain',_charset='utf-8')
  msg['Subject'] = subject
  msg['From'] = me
  msg['to'] = to_list
  try:
    s = smtplib.SMTP()
    s.connect(mail_host)
    s.login(mail_user,mail_pass)
    s.sendmail(me,to_list,msg.as_string())
    s.close()
    return True
  except Exception,e:
    print str(e)
    return False
if __name__ == "__main__":
  send_mail(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3])

I am afraid I don't understand what you are trying to do. What you shared with us is a Python program that sends an email to tom_a@189.cn. Where did that came from? I am not familiar with zabbix.
That file has many things hard coded into it. Mail servers, user names, passwords. Are those your credentials (and if so, I hope not your real credentials, otherwise you may want to change your password).

So, a naive answer might be to open the file in your favorite editor (emacs, nano, whatever) and update the credentials to your user name, mail server, password, mail domain, etc....

I never used zabbix but if I understand correctly, you use the script to send an email to your(?) zabbix server which in turn forwards the incoming email to your phone trough SMS.

If it's so, then the problem could be the MIMEText function, which encodes the the text if it contains Unicode characters (see https://docs.python.org/2/library/email … t.MIMEText). Try sending a message without encoding it (see here for a basic example https://docs.python.org/2/library/smtpl … tp-example)?

However, if zabbix receive the email correctly, then the problem could be between the zabbix server and your phone (does your phone actually support Unicode SMSes?).
