I have a python code which crawls some websites and send me some emails. The code is working fine on my computer. Now I am trying to run the same code on an Amazon web server. However, google blocks the code. Is there any workaround?
import smtplib
# Send email to my personal email address
def send_email(subject, msg):
try:
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login('e******@gmail.com', 'S****')
message = 'Subject: {}\n\n{}'.format(subject, msg)
server.sendmail('e*@gmail.com', 'e*@gmail.com', message)
server.quit()
print("Success: Email sent!")
except:
print("Email failed to send.")
As answered in the comment section by Furas, Gmail may blocks access from untrusted programs and the programmer may have to create a separated password for these programs. Allow less secure apps to access your Gmail account
