I don't think using SSL works with hotmail. I tried using: smtplib.*SMTP_SSL*("smtp.live.com", 587) smtplib.login(user, passwd) ...
That gave this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "sendemail.py", line 22, in <module> smtp = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_srv, 587) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 776, in __init__ SMTP.__init__(self, host, port, local_hostname, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 249, in __init__ (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 309, in connect self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 782, in _get_socket new_socket = ssl.wrap_socket(new_socket, self.keyfile, self.certfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 381, in wrap_socket ciphers=ciphers) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 143, in __init__ self.do_handshake() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 305, in do_handshake self._sslobj.do_handshake() ssl.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
