The Python Library Reference Section 12.2.13 gives an example of how
to send a simple text message. When I try that, my program seems to
start and run OK, my firewall asks for permission for PythonWin to
access the internet, then it gets to the line s.connect()
and I get an error message whose last two lines are
raise SMTPServerDisconnected("Connection unexpectedly closed")
SMTPServerDisconnected: Connection unexpectedly closed
Now, the odd thing is that when I use my newserver (Free Agent
1.21/32) and try to send email in response to an article I have read,
I get the same error message: Connection unexpectedly closed.
Obviously the problem is not in Python, but in something in my system.
I would welcome suggestions to help untangle it. I have a DSL
connection to SBCglobal.net. I usually get and send my email through
an address at texas.net, not SBCglobal.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben Fairbank
