Remove the above call to "reactor.run() and see what happens.
print "Returned from sending email" # ^ Never gets to this point
Thanks. Now I am getting closer. But a strange (to me) thing happens. When I connect to the Echo server and send it a string, it does correctly run the MySMTP code. But it does not return and execute the 'print "Returned from sending email"' statement until I connect to the Echo server again and send another string. Any idea why this is happening? Is there a way to disconnect factory2 from the reactor after I have sent the "QUIT" string (or when MySMTPClientFactory.clientConnectionLost() gets called)?
Never mind, I suck. I finally noticed that it was of course immediately returning from the reactor.connectTCP() and immediately printing "Returned from sending email", then getting around to actually running the MySMTPClientFactory stuff. I guess I have to learn about using deferreds. Thanks again for your previous help.
