Sendmail Errno[61] Connection Refused

Question

I\'ve been trying to get my application to mail some outputted text to an email. For simplification I have isolated the script :

import smtplib
import sys
import         


        

Answer 1

If you start a local server as follows:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Make sure to modify the mail-sending code to use the non-standard port number:

server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER, 1025)
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
server.quit()
