Edit Question
Title
Body
I am trying to send an email using python but despite I am using the local SMTP server it seems that it needs authentication. The code I run and the error I get can be seen below. I use port 587, because port 25 cannot be opened on my server. Could you please help me on setting up the local SMTP server using python on port 587? >>> import smtplib >>> from email.mime.text import MIMEText >>> msg = MIMEText('Test body') >>> me = 'support@mywebsite.com' >>> to = 'myemail@gmail.com' >>> msg['Subject'] = 'My Subject' >>> msg['From'] = me >>> msg['To'] = to >>> s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost', 587) >>> s.sendmail(me, [to], msg.as_string()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 722, in sendmail raise SMTPSenderRefused(code, resp, from_addr) smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused: (530, '5.7.0 Authentication required', 'support@mywebsite.com')
