Today I have tried to send email with python:
import smtplib
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.google.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_FROM_LOGIN = 'sender@gmail.com'
EMAIL_FROM_PASSWORD = 'password'
MESSAGE = 'Hi!'
EMAIL_TO_LOGIN = 'recipient@gmail.com'
print('starting...')
server = smtplib.SMTP(EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT)
server.starttls()
print('logging...')
server.login(EMAIL_FROM_LOGIN, EMAIL_FROM_PASSWORD)
print('sending message...')
server.sendmail(EMAIL_FROM_LOGIN, EMAIL_TO_LOGIN, MESSAGE)
This script doesn't goes further than starting... print. I searched about this issue whole day, but found only something like:
"check that port isn't blocked..."
At least I got info about blocked/disabled/etc. port, what I don't have, is specifics of problem.
Additional info: following some of advices I found earlier, I checked output of telnet smtp.google.com 587.
The output is static Connecting to smtp.google.com.... It remains for like 2 mins, and then prints:
Could not open a connection to this host, on port 587: Connection failed
UPD 1
I tried to open ports manually, on which python script has been run, but nothing changes...
So, my question is: what should I do? Where I can find those blocked ports, how to unblock/enable them?
Enable lower security in your gmail account and fix your smtp address: 'smtp.gmail.com':
My sample:
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
mail_content = 'Sample text'
sender_address = 'xxx@xxx'
sender_pass = 'xxxx'
receiver_address = 'xxx@xxx'
message = MIMEMultipart()
message['From'] = sender_address
message['To'] = receiver_address
message['Subject'] = 'Test mail'
message.attach(MIMEText(mail_content, 'plain'))
session = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
session.starttls()
session.login(sender_address, sender_pass)
session.sendmail(sender_address, receiver_address, message.as_string())
session.quit()
print('Mail Sent')
