I added a couple of modules that I didn't see. But you need those in order to use the ssl methods as well as the smtplib.
I also added a couple of print statements to help with seeing where in the process this might be getting hung up. You also want to close the connection as best practice.
lastly I added a variable to use with the steps of logging into the smtp server. I did this for Gmail recently so I don't know if this will work offhand, but at the very least the print statements and additional variables should hopefully help with that as well.
I'm trying to send an email to my webmail(yahoo) using python3 but I have some problems with the object. I've tried with different ports(465/587) without any success:
import smtplib
pass='letmein'
sender = 'manolo#yahoo.es'
receivers = ['raul#yahoo.es']
message = """From: From Person <from#fromdomain.com>
To: To Person <to#todomain.com>
Subject: SMTP e-mail test
This is a test e-mail message.
"""
try:
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 465) ### 587)
smtpObj.set_debuglevel(1)
smtpObj.login(sender, pass)
smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)
print("Successfully sent email")
except SMTPException:
print("Error: unable to send email")
And this is the error I get:
send: 'ehlo [192.168.0.15]\r\n'

Error: unable to send email
Any idea about how to fix this error?
There are a few things to fix:
Use smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 465) because port 465 expects connection using SSL.
Add smtpObj.set_debuglevel(1) to have better help with debugging - this will tell you that you need to login first.
Use smtpObj.login("login", "password") before trying to send an email.
The From email should be the same as the login.
I want to send an email using outlook. The code is as follows:

msg.set_content('Some text here')

smtp.login('******', '****')
smtp.send_message(msg)
print('Email sent!')

Microsoft Outlook uses STARTTLS when sending an email. So you need to replace smtplib.SMTP_SSL with smtplib.SMTP and you need to call starttls
reference: smtplib.SMTP.starttls
import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
sender = 'somename#outlook.com'
recipient = 'somename#gmail.com'
msg = EmailMessage()
msg.set_content('this is a test')
msg['From'] = 'somename#outlook.com'
msg['To'] = 'somename#gmail.com'
msg['Subject'] = 'test email'
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) as server:
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.ehlo()
server.login('your_login', "your_password", initial_response_ok=True)
server.ehlo()
server.sendmail(sender, recipient, msg.as_string())
print('Email sent!')
server.close()
Here is the Outlook message in my Gmail account.
I noted that I had to change my Outlook password, because it had a \n, which Python read as a new line.
----------------------------------------
My system information
----------------------------------------
Platform: macOS
OS Version: 10.15.7
Python Version: 3.9
----------------------------------------
Your question didn't identity the type of Outlook account you have.
Free account
Corporate account
You stated in the comments below that your error message included ask your email administrator. I haven't seem this message with the Free account so I'm assuming that you might have a Corporate account. If you do have the latter please review this Enable or disable authenticated client SMTP submission, because an email administrator would need to enable Authenticated SMTP on your corporate account.
The answer from user "Life is complex" is almost right. I would like to add few more things from myside which might help. I am not very sure which python version you are using here. I am guessing it as Python 3.X. You need to go through based on actual version of python you are using in your case.
From Python smtplib documents, link. Please check which python version you are using with below guide line.
class smtplib.SMTP_SSL(host='', port=0, local_hostname=None,
keyfile=None, certfile=None, [timeout, ]context=None,
source_address=None) An SMTP_SSL instance behaves exactly the same as
instances of SMTP. SMTP_SSL should be used for situations where SSL is
required from the beginning of the connection and using starttls() is
not appropriate. If host is not specified, the local host is used. If
port is zero, the standard SMTP-over-SSL port (465) is used. The
optional arguments local_hostname, timeout and source_address have the
same meaning as they do in the SMTP class. context, also optional, can
contain a SSLContext and allows configuring various aspects of the
secure connection. Please read Security considerations for best
practices.
keyfile and certfile are a legacy alternative to context, and can
point to a PEM formatted private key and certificate chain file for
the SSL connection.
Changed in version 3.3: context was added.
Changed in version 3.3: source_address argument was added.
Changed in version 3.4: The class now supports hostname check with
ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname and Server Name Indication (see
ssl.HAS_SNI).
Deprecated since version 3.6: keyfile and certfile are deprecated in
favor of context. Please use ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain() instead,
or let ssl.create_default_context() select the system’s trusted CA
certificates for you.
Changed in version 3.9: If the timeout parameter is set to be zero, it
will raise a ValueError to prevent the creation of a non-blocking
socket
You need to check that SSLV3 is enabled at Server end or not. Check out this link to see which client version can connect to which server version SSL Version Compatibility first.
import smtplib
import ssl
context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS)
#Above line is required to switch default SSLV3 protocol to TLS, recommended by python docs
# If you want to use SSLV3 and you are sure that it is enabled on server end then use
#context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3)
connection = smtplib.SMTP('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 587)
connection.ehlo()
connection.starttls(context=context)
connection.ehlo()
connection.login('now_your_real_login_data#outlook.com', 'otherwise_SMTPServerDisconnect')
The accepted answer didn't work for me, I kept getting this error:
smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError: STARTTLS extension not supported by server.
I also tried SMTP_SSL instead of SMTP:
context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS)
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 587, context=context) as server:
server.ehlo()
server.starttls(context=context)
but got this error:
[SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1131)
Fortunately this post (thanks #dhruv-gami) helped me find my issue.
I found out that my hostname (using WSL on windows) is uppercase, but Outlook servers do not accept uppercase host names.
The solution is to just add a lowercase string in the ehlo commands:
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) as server:
server.ehlo('lowercase')
server.starttls()
server.ehlo('lowercase')
server.login('your_login', "your_password", initial_response_ok=True)
I am using the below lines of code to send an email but I get the error as 'smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful' . This must be due to MFA. what can I do to authenticate?
import smtplib, ssl
port = 587 # For starttls
smtp_server = "smtp.office365.com"
sender_email = "myemail#companycom"
receiver_email = "myemail#companycom"
password = input("Type your password and press enter:")
message = """\
Subject: Hi there
This message is sent from Python."""
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port) as server:
server.ehlo() # Can be omitted
server.starttls(context=context)
server.ehlo() # Can be omitted
server.login(sender_email, password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message)
The solution to this issue is to manage the app password in your account or request for service accounts to your admin which doesn't have MFA.
The following code is working perfectly in another computer:
def send_email(user, pwd, recipient, subject, body):
#lb.send_email('AlirezaFedEx#gmail.com','P&ENLAMS','info#nka-it.com','Test','This is a test')
import smtplib
FROM = 'AlXXX#gmail.com'
TO = ['info#XXX.com'] # recipient if isinstance(recipient, list) else [recipient]
SUBJECT = 'Test'#subject
TEXT = 'This is a test' #body
# Prepare actual message
message = """From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s
""" % (FROM, ", ".join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT)
try:
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(user, pwd)
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
server.close()
print('successfully sent the mail')
except Exception as err:
print("failed to send mail:" + str(err))
When running the following part:
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
it starts to freeze and eventually gives the following error:
TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
I checked proxy of my browser and disabled proxy but still getting the error. Any advice please?
are you using proxy? If so, please disable the proxy and try again. This should work properly if you have an active internet connection.
