You are running on a PC, which doesn't have a SMTP server running on it. The default hostname for smtplib.SMTP().connect() is to localhost (your own machine). You will need to find out the hostname of the mail server that your ISP provides. You probably set it when you set up your email (based on a little research, it looks to be "
smtp.cox.net"). -ArcegeOn 7/16/06, Grady Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

But when I run it using IDLE, I get the
following:
IDLE 1.1.3 No

Can anybody help?
