Hi Python Tutor folks
I am stuck with an issue, so am coming to the Pythonistas who rescue me
everytime :)
I am trying to send out email programmatically, from a gmail a/c, using
smtplib, using the following chunk of code (b/w [ & ] below)
[
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
#uname, pwd are username & password of gmail a/c i am trying to send from
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587 <http://smtp.gmail.com:587/>')
server.starttls() # get response(220, '2.0.0 Ready to start TLS')
server.login(uname,pwd) # get response(235, '2.7.0 Accepted')
toaddrs = ['x...@gmail.com <mailto:x...@gmail.com>', 'y...@gmail.com
<mailto:y...@gmail.com>' ] # list of To email addresses
msg = MIMEText('email body')
msg['Subject'] = 'email subject'
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg.as_string())
]
The code above works perfectly fine on my local machine, but fails on
the production server at the university where i work( all ports other
than port 80 are blocked) :(
Good -- the university is taking steps to block spam.
You should send mail using the university mail system and not
smtp.gmail.com.
