Why can't I send a mail to myself using python smtplib?

Question

I am using this code taken from here:

import smtplib

def prompt(prompt):
    return raw_input(prompt).strip()

fromaddr = prompt(\"From: \")
toaddrs  = prom         


        

Answer 1

You're not running SMTP server on your machine.

see: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
