I used this example to get emailing from python through gmail smtp to work: http://codecomments.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/python-gmail-smtp-example/ Note, there are a couple errors in the code that prevent it from working out-of-the-box ... however, if you read the comments they get worked out. Also, I think I would echo what the other folks mentioned here, is that you probably need to specify the port (587) as in: server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) Damon > > This is the code that I used : > > import smtplib > msg = 'Test' > > > server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com') > server.set_debuglevel(1) > server.ehlo() > server.starttls() > server.ehlo() > server.login('[email protected]', 'password') > server.sendmail('[email protected]', > '[email protected]', msg) > server.close() > > This error message keeps coming up: > > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "C:/Python25/send_mail.py", line 5, in <module> > server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com') > File "C:\Python25\Lib\smtplib.py", line 244, in __init__ > (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port) > File "C:\Python25\Lib\smtplib.py", line 310, in connect > raise socket.error, msg > error: (10061, 'Connection refused') > > > Can anyone help me with this? > > Thanks. > > -Marco > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
