Ok with some tweaking I got it to where I could send through my local isp's
smtp server, but I am restricted to sending the message from my ISP's mail
account. When I respond to Yahoo mail, I want to use my yahoo address. I was
able to get into aol's smtp with:
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.aol.com', 587)
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.ehlo()
s.docmd('AUTH', 'PLAIN')
s.docmd('LutherRevisited')
s.docmd('myPassword')
s.sendmail('l**************@aol.com', [to], msg)
s.quit()
but I'm unable to send on that server with my yahoo address, when I try this on
yahoo's smtp server it does not require me to use AUTH, but AOL drops my
messages giving me some kind of 'bulk mail, yada yada' message. I don't have
this problem with Outlook using Yahoo's smtp server, so I'm curious to know
what it is that Outlook is doing that I'm missing in my code? With Yahoo I did
something like:
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.yahoo.com')
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.ehlo()
s.sendmail('b*************@yahoo.com', [to], msg)
s.quit()
but this is dropped for some odd reason. Any thoughts? Also I never got the
login method of smtp to work with AOL's smtp, so I had to run through that by
hand. Can someone tell me if I'm missing something there also?

Thanks for the reply, that link is down right now, but I'll give it a look
tommorow. Getting technical support from AOL is like pulling teeth......geez.
This guy was insisting that I should contact Yahoo about this. How in the
world is Yahoo going to be able to answer my questions about the smtp server
that aol rerouted me too?

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use .login instead(). Also, PLAIN doesn't
mean you send the password in plain text (it's encoded with base64).
And the developers of the Python standard library - in this case, me
:-P - already did that work once for you in .login() of the SMTP
object ;-)
