I didn't ask if you can READ email using Thunderbird, I asked if you can SEND email using Thunderbird, *specifically* sending using the same mail server as your script is trying to do. There is no point checking that Thunderbird can send email as "nikos.gr...@gmail.com" using the gmail server. You have to check whether it can send email as "mail" (notice that it is just a local name, not a full email address), using /usr/sbin/sendmail on whatever machine you happen to be using. A second question... what happens if you try to send email using sendmail directly from the command line? If this is a hosted server, are you sure that they have enabled sendmail on the hosted server? What happens if you try to send email using the email library, as seen here: http://docs.python.org/3/library/email-examples.html instead of using popen to talk directly to sendmail? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
