I want to send an email from my server. I'm trying to send using a hotmail account that I already have.
user = "myaddress@hotmail.com"
passwd = "xxxxxxxxx"
from_addr = "myaddress@hotmail.com"
to_addr = "someaddress@gmail.com"
smtp_srv = "smtp.live.com"
subject = "Home Server Uptime"
message = "The server has been online for: %s" %(uptime)
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_srv,587)
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.login(user, passwd)
smtp.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, message)
smtp.quit()
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sendemail.py", line 23, in <module>
smtp.starttls()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 636, in starttls
(resp, reply) = self.docmd("STARTTLS")
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 385, in docmd
return self.getreply()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 358, in getreply
+ str(e))
smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: Connection unexpectedly closed: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
Here is the output of set_debuglevel(1) as Nathan suggested:
