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 gg.galvez at gmail.com.
Python Script used:
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.sendmail('gg77galvez at yahoo.com',
"""To: gg.galvez at gmail.com
From: gg77galvez at yahoo.com
Beware the Ides of March.
""")
server.quit()
when running this I get the following message. Please help:
Traceback (most recent call last):
