[Trac] Email Notification for new tickets is not working

John, I followed your suggestion and got 2 different .py scripts for testing, I ran the following two and they both worked (after a bit of tweaking to my HOSTS file) but Trac still throws same error. Also I have SELinux disabled until I figure this issue out, so I do not believe it’s an issue with that. Got any other ideas?

***********************************************************

import smtplib

def prompt(prompt):

return raw_input(prompt).strip()

fromaddr = prompt("From: ")

toaddrs = prompt("To: ").split()

print "Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):"

# Add the From: and To: headers at the start!

msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\n\r\n"

% (fromaddr, ", ".join(toaddrs)))

while 1:

try:

line = raw_input()

except EOFError:

break

if not line:

break

msg = msg + line

print "Message length is " + repr(len(msg))

server = smtplib.SMTP('127.0.0.1')

server.set_debuglevel(1)

server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)

server.quit()

*************************************************************

Also tried the following script

import smtplib

message = 'blah blah blah'

SENDER = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

RECIPIENT = 'my email addr here'

server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')

response = server.sendmail(SENDER, RECIPIENT, message)

server.close()

print str(response)

***************************************************************

I used the user Apache to test (had to modify the passwd file since by default it has a shell disabled) and they both work fine.

This is a socket error.  It's saying that you aren't allowed to connect

using the socket.  That means that it's an operating system issue.  I

would suspect that it's some selinux funness.  Try sending an email as

the user that trac runs under (probably apache or www-data).  Also, as

said user, fire up a python shell and import smtplib and use that to

send a test message.
