I have found a solution: In the file db.py I have found the following lines: Line 37-39:
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587' # your SMTP server mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]' # your email mail.settings.login = '[email protected]:mygmailpassword' # your credentials or None Line 121-123: mail.settings.server = settings.email_sender mail.settings.sender = settings.email_sender mail.settings.login = settings.email_login *I do not understand what the purpose of these lines is. I have commented these lines out and now sending by Gmail works very well.* # mail.settings.server = settings.email_sender # mail.settings.sender = settings.email_sender # mail.settings.login = settings.email_login And my localhost needs tls=False: mail.settings.server = 'localhost:25' mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]' mail.settings.tls = False mail.settings.login = None *By the way: I had to change #* *"Click on the link http://..."; to * *"Click on the link https://..."; * ***(lines 88 and 93)* 2010/12/28 Martin Weissenboeck <[email protected]> > Hi, > > I want my website to send emails. > > I have tried (in db.py) > > mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587' # your SMTP server > mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]' # your email > mail.settings.login = '[email protected]:mygmailpassword' # your > credentials or None > > > and > > mail.settings.server = '127.0.0.1' # your SMTP server > mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]' # your email > mail.settings.login = None # your credentials or None > > > In both cases I got the message > > *WARNING:web2py:Mail.send failure:STARTTLS extension not supported by > server.* > > > Pure Python works fine: > > # python2.7 > >>> import smtplib > >>> server = smtplib.SMTP('127.0.0.1') > >>> server.sendmail('[email protected]','[email protected]','test') > > > Operating system: CentOS > > What shall I do? > > With kind regards > Martin >
