An update to this: It was in fact a python 2.3 bug with having a timeout set on the socket connection when using TLS.
I got around it by hacking the SMTPConnection.open() call to set the time out on the socket to None. The code isn't in heavy use (contact form) but obviously eventually upgrading to Py2.4 or 2.5 is a better solution if you can rather than hacking the django mail file :). -C On Sep 28, 11:50 am, Chris Kelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to use the new(ish) TLS functionality to send email via > gmail's SMTP server, and I am getting an exception: > > Exception Type: sslerror > Exception Value: The read operation timed out > > I am running latest trunk on Python 2.3.5.
