I am having difficulty getting the python script to send an email to work. Here
is the code I use from among a number of other examples which I used. The only
changes I made were the email addresses, so I can see the result if it works.
If you have any suggestions, please email your reply also to
[email protected].
Python Script used:
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.sendmail('[email protected]',
"""To: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
Beware the Ides of March.
""")
server.quit()
when running this I get the following message. Please help:
Traceback (most recent call last):
