Title Body

Here's my script: #!/usr/bin/python import smtplib msg = 'Hello world.' server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587) #port 465 or 587 server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login('myname@gmail.com','mypass') server.sendmail('myname@gmail.com','somename@somewhere.com',msg) server.close() I'm just trying to send an email from my gmail account. The script uses starttls because of gmail's requirement. I've tried this on two web hosts, 1and1 and webfaction. 1and1 gives me a 'connection refused' error and webfaction reports no error but just doesn't send the email. I can't see anything wrong with the script, so I'm thinking it might be related to the web hosts. Any thoughts and comments would be much appreciated. EDIT: I turned on debug mode. From the output, it looks like it sent the message successfully...I just never receive it. send: 'ehlo web65.webfaction.com\r\n' reply: '250-mx.google.com at your service, [174.133.21.84]\r\n' reply: '250-SIZE 35651584\r\n' reply: '250-8BITMIME\r\n' reply: '250-STARTTLS\r\n' reply: '250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\r\n' reply: '250 PIPELINING\r\n' reply: retcode (250); Msg: mx.google.com at your service, [174.133.21.84] SIZE 35651584 8BITMIME STARTTLS ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES PIPELINING send: 'STARTTLS\r\n' reply: '220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS\r\n' reply: retcode (220); Msg: 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS send: 'ehlo web65.webfaction.com\r\n' reply: '250-mx.google.com at your service, [174.133.21.84]\r\n' reply: '250-SIZE 35651584\r\n' reply: '250-8BITMIME\r\n' reply: '250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN\r\n' reply: '250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\r\n' reply: '250 PIPELINING\r\n' reply: retcode (250); Msg: mx.google.com at your service, [174.133.21.84] SIZE 35651584 8BITMIME AUTH LOGIN PLAIN ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES PIPELINING send: 'AUTH PLAIN *****\r\n' reply: '235 2.7.0 Accepted\r\n' reply: retcode (235); Msg: 2.7.0 Accepted send: 'mail FROM:<myname@gmail.com> size=12\r\n' reply: '250 2.1.0
