Re: smtplib "authentication required" error

Hey,

Don't know if you can help, but I'm trying to import archived messages
from Thunderbird into my gmail account and keep getting these types of
errors. *I am using the GML program to help incorporate, but the SMTP
server is not being recognized by gmail. *Am I doing something wrong? *
Anything else I can try?
SMTP I've tried:
* * smtp.gmail.com
* * gsmtp56.google.com

Error Val : (530, '5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.
m29sm9416768poh.4',
*** 76 ERROR SENDING MESSAGE FROM: [e-mail]
*** UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER OR SEND MESSAGE. ERROR FOLLOWS.
Error Type: smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused
Error Val : (530, '5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.

Thanks,
Cher

Can you get the following program to work?
#Uses gmail to send an email to someone

import smtplib

sender = "Tom"
to = "Sally"
subject = "Test smtplib"

headers = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n" % (sender, to,
subject)
msg = headers + "Hello. How are you?"

mailserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
mailserver.ehlo()
mailserver.starttls()
mailserver.ehlo()
mailserver.login("your_gmail_email_address", "your_gmail_password")
mailserver.sendmail("your_gmail_email_addres",
"a_destination_email_address", msg)
mailserver.close()
