Error sending e-mail via SMTP server on App Engine development server

Question

I am trying to send Email using this sample code and these command-line options:

dev_appserver.py --smtp_host=smtp.gmail.com --smtp_port=25 --smtp_user=xxx@g         


        

Answer 1

The other methods are no longer necessary:

Setting the following in /appengine/api/mail_stub.py

if self._allow_tls and smtp.has_extn ('STARTTLS'):
  smtp.starttls ()

works for me on appengine sdk version 1.9.15
