[Python] Very Simple Email Send

Code:

from smtplib import *



outbox = SMTP('mail.pcwv.com')

MyAddr = "jay@pcwv.com"

Target = "jay@pcwv.com"

outbox.sendmail(MyAddr,Target,"Hi There")

Everytime i try to execute that, I get a "Connection unexpectedy closed". Just to verify, I have also copy and pasted many other senders off internet with no luck.

Anyone see the issue here? Can it be anything other than the mail server not allowing me to do this?

I'm just learning python so i cant really comment on the code. I know that from the interpreter i have to do this:

outbox = smtplib.SMTP('mail.myserver.com')

many isps disable relaying so you cant send from a mailserver other than theirs. You may want to try and set-up an email account using the server just to make sure you can send from the account.

Also if your server requires authorization, that may be a problem.

Without knowing anything about Python, Im going to agree with that. All the PHP code Ive ever written dealing with email doesnt work on my test servers for just that reason, but works fine when thrown onto a server thats able to send mail :)
