it errors out with "Unable to Connect mailer.domain.com:25: Connection
unexpectedly closed: timed out".

However, the below simple python code can send an email successfully.
#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
sender = '[email protected]'
receivers = ['[email protected]']
message = """

try:
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('mailer.domain.com', 25)
smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)
print "Successfully sent email"
except SMTPException:
print "Error: unable to send email"
Can anyone please let me know where am I going wrong. Or, any help is
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
