Failing to send email with the Python example

Question

I\'ve been trying (and failing) to figure out how to send email via Python.

Trying the example from here: http://docs.python.org/library/smtplib.html#smtplib.SMTP

Answer 1

import smtplib

content = 'example email stuff here'

mail = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

mail.ehlo()

mail.starttls()

mail.login('email@gmail.com','password')

mail.sendmail('email@gmail.com', 'email@yahoo.com', content)

mail.close()
