Hi Waldemar, Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I should have included this in my original post. I have configured as below(xxx = username/password):
# Email server settings EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.comcast.net' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'xxxxx' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxxx' EMAIL_USE_TLS = False DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]' SERVER_EMAIL = '[email protected]' I've tried TLS = True and False both. Also from terminal (i'm using OS X 10.4.11) I can successfully "telnet smtp.comcast.net 25" and manually send a message. Also when using telnet I do not have to login so I've attempt to comment out the EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD but it does not fix it. Also in looking at this more, and the output above shows the local var 'name' that is being used by getbyhostaddr(name) is using has my local machine hostname(imac.local). I've even gone into my host file to make sure it has imac.local with my loopback address. Again, thanks for your help. This is driving me mad!
