Receiving Mail in Google App Engine

Question

I am reading the tutorial about Receiving Mail. I updated the app.yaml file as instructed:

application: hello-1-world
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

         


        

Answer 1

Is help@hello-1-world.appspotmail.com a valid google user? GAE can receive/send mails only from the google user of your application. Your code seems correct.

"Also, why do I need to have a separate script to handle incoming mail? Why can't I put the ReceiveEmail handler in my hw.py" -> the main script is to handle url request, I think is much clearer in this way.
