I'm looking for a way to send a simple, plain text email message using Python. My initial attempts are failing with the following error:
socket.error: (61, 'Connection refused') Does this imply that I do not have the machine's smtp server running? (I don't; and I'd like to avoid setting it up.) I'm following example code in the lib ref docs: >>> s = smtplib.SMTP() >>> s.connect() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/smtplib.py", line 303, in connect raise socket.error, msg socket.error: (61, 'Connection refused') Python 2.4.1 MacOSX 10.4.3 Is there a better/easier way to send a plain text message? Thanks in advance! Scott -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
