Hi All,
This is fixed. This wasn't the specific python error - It was email
server error.
Solution: I edited my postfix *master.cf* file and changed the below line
. Restarted the postfix server. That eliminated the connection error.
*/etc/postfix/master.cf*
#smtps inet n - - - - smtpd
to:
*smtps inet n - - - - smtpd*
Thanks!
Rahul.
