Emailing smtp with Python error
- by jakecar
I can't figure out why this isn't working. I'm trying to send an email from my school email address with this code I got online. The same code works for sending from my GMail address. Does anyone know what this error means? The error occurs after waiting for about one and a half minutes.
import smtplib
FROMADDR = "FROM_EMAIL"
LOGIN = "USERNAME"
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"
TOADDRS = ["TO_EMAIL"]
SUBJECT = "Test"
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n"
% (FROMADDR, ", ".join(TOADDRS), SUBJECT) )
msg += "some text\r\n"
server = smtplib.SMTP('OUTGOING_SMTP', 587)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROMADDR, TOADDRS, msg)
server.quit()
And here's the error I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
