[sum abiut]

The error message is very clear send_mass_mail only expect  4 values but you are passing in more than four.

You should only pass in four values.

datatuple = (

('f_subject', 'f_message','f_email',

['myg...@gmail.com']),

# second person

('f_subject', 'f_message','f_email',

['sec...@gmail.com'])

)

send_mass_mail(datatuple)

refer to the documentations
