I am using this code taken from here:
import smtplib
def prompt(prompt):
return raw_input(prompt).strip()
fromaddr = prompt("From: ")
toaddrs = prompt("To: ").split()
print "Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):"
# Add the From: and To: headers at the start!
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\n\r\n"
% (fromaddr, ", ".join(toaddrs)))
while 1:
try:
line = raw_input()
except EOFError:
break
if not line:
break
msg = msg + line
print "Message length is " + repr(len(msg))
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()
I put my gmail mail account in the sender and in the reciver but I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
