Here's what I've found out.
For testing purposes I've added two actions to my default controller:
sendmail and sendmail2. The first (sendmail ) uses the Mail class from
web2py, and the second
(sendmail2) uses the smtplib module directly.
sendmail() and sendmail2() both work fine on my local server.
sendmail2() works fine on the remote server (it returns True and sends
the message), but sendmail() doesn't, it returns False.
Here's what they look like:
def sendmail():
mail = Mail()
mail.settings.server='mail.mydomain.com:25'
mail.settings.sender='ale...@mydomain.com'
mail.settings.login= 'ale...@mydomain.com:password'
result = mail.send(to=['ale...@mydomain.ru'],subject='From
Web2py',message='sendmail')
return dict(result=result)
def sendmail2():
import smtplib
conn = smtplib.SMTP('mail.mydomain.com')
loginres = conn.login('ale...@mydomain.com', 'password')
conn.sendmail('ale...@mydomain.com', 'ale...@mydomain.ru', 'sendmail2')
conn.quit()
return dict(loginres=loginres)
