OK folks, my Zabbix server sharted, so I had to rebuild it. A little different this time with ODROID XU4, mainline kernel, Ubuntu 18.04, Zabbix Server 3.4.11 and Python 3 (Python 2 not installed by default). Hopefully my loss is your gain :) Since the original script doesn't work on Python 3 you'll need to edit that. I was too lazy to do a PR :)

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header
from email.utils import formatdate

print(u'requires 3 parameters (recipient, subject, body) \t$ zabbix-gmail.sh recipient subject body')

The rest of the stuff in my previous post is still relevant.

Test with:
sudo -H -u zabbix python3 /usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts/zabbix-alert-smtp.py [email protected] test testbody

Great job. This script works fine with Zabbix 4.0.5 running on Centos 7.6.1810
