If you aren't getting any messages, then tell the smtp object you want some:
>From TFM (https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html#smtp-objects):
An SMTP instance has the following methods:
SMTP.set_debuglevel(level)
Set the debug output level. A value of 1 or True for level
results in debug messages for connection and for all messages
sent to and received from the server. A value of 2 for level
results in these messages being timestamped.
If all else fails, fire up wireshark and watch the conversation
between the SMTP object and the server.
