Help send email by Python using smtplib

[hangme]

I tried using the example code as below:

smtp_senddata.py

import smtplib
import email.utils
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

# Create the message
msg = MIMEText('This is the body of the message.')
msg['To'] = email.utils.formataddr(('Recipient', '[email protected]'))
msg['From'] = email.utils.formataddr(('Author', '[email protected]'))
msg['Subject'] = 'Simple test message'

server = smtplib.SMTP('127.0.0.1', 1025)
server.set_debuglevel(True) # show communication with the server
try:
    server.sendmail('[email protected]',['[email protected]'],msg.as_string())
finally:
    server.quit()

smtpd_custom/.py

import smtpd
import asyncore
class CustomSMTPServer(smtpd.SMTPServer):
    
    def process_message(self, peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data):
        print 'Receiving message from:', peer
        print 'Message addressed from:', mailfrom
        print 'Message addressed to  :', rcpttos
        print 'Message length        :', len(data)
        return

server = CustomSMTPServer(('127.0.0.1', 1025), None)

asyncore.loop()

I run stmpd_custom.py then smtpd_senddata.py.
it run ok but when I check the mail ([email protected]), I don't receive any email. :(
Could you please help me this problem?
Thanks all very much.

Do you want to use Gmail to send the emails or are you running a local SMTP server?
For Gmail you have to connect to SMTP's Gmail like this:

import smtplib

gmail_user = '[email protected]'
gmail_password = 'mygmailpassword'

try:
    server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465)
    server.ehlo()
    server.starttls()
    server.ehlo()
    server.login(gmail_user, gmail_password)
except Exception as e:
    print(f'Something went wrong: {e}')

Can send over SSL @gontajones suggest.
Can also send over TLS on port 587.
Remember that 127.0.0.1(localhost) is a loopback back to you

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

from_addr = "[email protected]"
to_addr = "[email protected]"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = from_addr
msg['To'] = to_addr
msg['Subject'] = "Test send mail"

body = "From mars"
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'xxxxxxxx')
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, text)
server.quit()

Output:
Common smtp servers

Name	Server	Authentication	Port
Gmail  smtp.gmail.com  SSL  465
Gmail  smtp.gmail.com  StartTLS  587
Hotmail  smtp.live.com  SSL  465
Mail.com  smtp.mail.com SSL  465
Outlook.com  smtp.live.com  StartTLS  587
Office365.com  smtp.office365.com  StartTLS  587

I want to running a local SMTP server ( I understand it is smtpd_custom.py).

Thanks

I want to running a local SMTP server ( I understand it is smtpd_custom.py).

To send a message to yourself using locathost try the following. Sendmail is one class that I have never felt I should learn, so you are on your own if this doesn't work for you.

   fromaddr = "<root@localhost>"
   toaddrs  = ["your_login_name@localhost"]
   msg = ("This is a test message\n")

   server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
   server.set_debuglevel(1)
   server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
   server.quit()

I can't say for sure but I think the local use of smtpd is just for debug purpose like sending/receiving emails from stdin/stdout.

Check these "solutions", maybe one of them can do the job.
