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

For whatever reason, I had difficulty passing server and port to the constructor, but not the connect function. This ended up working for me:

    s = smtplib.SMTP(timeout=30) #seconds
    s.connect(EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT)
    m = MIMEText('see subject')
    m['subject'] = 'sweet subject'
    m['from'] = EMAIL_FROM
    m['to'] = to_list  # comma-separated list of emails
    s.sendmail(m['from'], m['to'].split(','), m.as_string())
    s.quit()
