In using a simple smtp routine:
# begin example
>>> import smtplib
>>> server = smtplib.SMTP('outgoing.verizon.net')
>>> server.sendmail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
"""To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Shakespeare Quote
Tis like the breath of an unfeed lawyer...
""")
>>> server.quit()
# end example
I find the following error:
raise SMTPSenderRefused(code, resp, from_addr)
smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused: (550, '5.7.1 Authentication Required',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
I have attempted to incorporate into the interactive session:
server.login = ('userid', 'password') # the same ones I use in my
email program
But I get the same error result. My objective is to have a simple way
to send email from the command line. To do this I will write a script
which can read in a file and send it to the address on top of the file.
What is the procedure for authentication?
Using the KMail email program (Linux, KDE desktop), I send mail through
my Verizon account. Under the Configure KMail / Accounts / Modify
Account / Extras tab, I clicked "Check what the server supports" and it
came back 'no encryption' and 'cleartext'. So it doesn't seem that it
would involve complex procedures.
Any help welcome.
