Emailing smtp with Python error
I can't figure out why this isn't working. I'm trying to send an email from my school email address with this code I got online. The same code works for sending from my GMail address. Does anyone know what this error means? The error occurs after waiting for about one and a half minutes.
import smtplib
FROMADDR = "FROM_EMAIL"
LOGIN = "USERNAME"
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"
TOADDRS = ["TO_EMAIL"]
SUBJECT = "Test"
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n"
% (FROMADDR, ", ".join(TOADDRS), SUBJECT) )
msg += "some text\r\n"
server = smtplib.SMTP('OUTGOING_SMTP', 465)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROMADDR, TOADDRS, msg)
server.quit()
And here's the error I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It's likely that your school's SMTP server does not permit outside access to port 587. Gmail does, and requires authentication to ensure that you are who you say you are (and so that spammers can't send email appearing to be from you unless they know your password). Your school may have chosen to set up their mail server so that only connections from within the school can send mail in this way.
