I've not worked with smtplib, but the error (550, 'authentication required'),
suggests
to me, that you have to login into the mail-Server, otherwise the server would
not
accept emails.
Looking into the doc for smtplib, the Class SMTP has method for that:
login(self, user, password)
Log in on an SMTP server that requires authentication.
The arguments are:
- user: The user name to authenticate with.
- password: The password for the authentication.
If there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session, this
method tries ESMTP EHLO first.
This method will return normally if the authentication was successful.
This method may raise the following exceptions:
SMTPHeloError The server didn't reply properly to
the helo greeting.
SMTPAuthenticationError The server didn't accept the username/
password combination.
SMTPException No suitable authentication method was
found.
