Hi all,
I'm having trouble with the socket module resolving a hostname. It
seems like this is a system level problem, but I'm not even sure where
to start. I can ping the smtp server by name and IP, but when
smtp.SMTP("theHost") tries to get the hostname, it keeps giving me the
following error:
File "bin/program.py", line 123, in notify
smtp = smtplib.SMTP("theHost")
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/smtplib.py", line 255, in __init__
addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
I tried changing to a different smtp server, using an ip instead of a
host name. I could ping both boxes by name oor IP.
any ideas?
