Failing to send email with the Python example

by

The following code works for me:

import smtplib

FROMADDR = "[email protected]"
LOGIN    = FROMADDR
PASSWORD = "my.real.password"
TOADDRS  = ["[email protected]"]
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('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROMADDR, TOADDRS, msg)
server.quit()

I’m using Python 2.5.2.

Edit: changed port from 25 to 587 as suggested by ΤΖΩΤΖΙΟΥ, and dropped the second ehlo(). Now I would love to know why port 25 works perfectly from my machine (and port 465 does not).
