sending email to distribution list using python

I'm trying to send emails to people in a distribution list in my company using python. My company uses outlook.

When I send to individual users specifying their email, it works perfectly. However I need to use the distribution list, since the recipients are updated by my IT department and I cant keep updating the email list whenever it changes.

Whomever has used outlook, you might recall that the distribution list starts with an exclamation mark like so: !groupdept@company.com

I am using the following method to send emails using python:

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from smtplib import SMTP
import smtplib
import sys

subject = "Group Email"
fromm = 'me@company.com'
recipients = ['someone@company.com, someonelse@company.com'] 
emaillist = [elem.strip().split(',') for elem in recipients]

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = fromm

html = """\
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style="font-size:18px;">
{0}
</body>
</html>
""".format(df2.style
       .set_properties(**{'border': '2.5pt solid green', 'color': 'magenta', 'font-size': '15pt'})
       .hide_index()
       .hide_columns()
       .render()
      )
message = MIMEText(html, 'html')
msg.attach(message)
server = smtplib.SMTP('00.0.0.00', 25)
server.sendmail(msg['From'], emaillist , msg.as_string())

The above method works well for comma separated recipients. However if I use !groupdept@company.com it doesn't work, which I can understand since that is an MS Outlook functionality.

Has anyone achieved this before?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
