I replaced to gmail because i don't have yahoo. server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)Then just copy in address and password,no change to code. Send and it work. Check that yahoo can revive from 3 party service like this. Remember there where i option i had to turn on to get gmail receive from all sources(allow less secure apps). RE: sending email with python - shahpy - Oct-03-2016 thank you snippsat i worked for myself by my gmail account but i,m still thinking about sending email from my yahoo account RE: sending email with python - snippsat - Oct-03-2016 Try: server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 587)For port 465 i think you need to change to this. server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 465)This create a SSL connection right from the start. The difference is method .SMTP_SSL() which is used with 465. RE: sending email with python - shahpy - Oct-03-2016 thank you it worked with your help: server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 587) |
