[Tutor] sending email via smtplib

[Saad Javed]

import smtplib

from_addr = "some_addr at hotmail.com"
to_addr = "some_addr at gmail.com"
smtp_srv = "smtp.live.com"

subject = "Test"
message = "Test"

msg = "To:%s\nFrom:%s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s" % (to_addr, from_addr, subject,
message)

smtp = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_srv, 587)
smtp.set_debuglevel(1)
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.login(user, passwd)
smtp.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, msg)
smtp.quit()

When I run this code, I get this output:
send: 'ehlo [127.0.1.1]\r\n'

    return self.getreply()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 358, in getreply
    + str(e))

I can send email via browser. Why is my authentication being blocked by
hotmail?

P.S: I tried sending from gmail. Same error.
