I am trying to send an email with python, because I have to send many emails in bulk and would like to do so with python. The code that I have written is below. When I run this however, I get the following error
TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
I think this might be a problem with the setup in Outlook, but I am unsure.
import smtplib
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.outlook365.com',587) as smtp:
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.login('email@address.com','password')
subject = 'This is a test.'
body = 'wonder if this works!'
msg = f'Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}'
smtp.sendmail('sender@email.com','receiver@email.com',msg)
Check the address of the smtp server, referring to the Microsoft documentation I saw that the address is different.
SMTP server name smtp.office365.com
