Thanks for the heads up. I hardly ever use this email account (non-SSL) so was not aware of the problem. I updated the MX record and then tested it using the alarm.py file in the example directory. Worked fine.
Again thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

This was causing a socket.gaierror exception to be raised, which quietly terminated the thread. I've changed the code to catch such an exception and log it. -tk On Sun, Jan 6, 2019 at 7:38 AM <nineb...@gmail.com <mailto:nineb...@gmail.com> > wrote: Sent.

The library smtplib uses a default of 465 for attempting SSL connections. Also, even if one attempted to connect using the wrong port, it should still time out. Which it didn't. Can you send the host name of the non-SSL server by private email?

The last version had a 20 second 'timeout': if the server didn't respond, an exception should have been raised. Sounds like that didn't happen.

I got it working by changing my server to one requiring SSL. I was using a non-SSL server and the latest version you sent still would not work. I also tried Gmail SMTP and it works. The “issue” seems to be with non-SSL servers. I usually find it the other way around. I tried the original example alarm.py using an SSL server and it works so I think this confirms my ”issue” is with non-SSL servers. Sorry for all the trouble. I am happy to use the SSL server.
