I have a working SMTP client that I need to add TLS capability to, I
absolutely need the client to timeout within a specified time, but when I
use the sock.timeout() line it freezes the reading of chars from SSLFakeFile
used during TLS instead of timing out the client connection. I am
working from my own hacked version of smtplib, but can demonstrate the
problem using the standard module (Python 2.3.4). Can anyone suggest a
workaround hack that I can impliment in my own version of smtplib ??
Thanks in advance
Working version =
import smtplib as mx
s=mx.SMTP('e32.co.us.ibm.com')
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.ehlo('x')
resp, null = s.starttls()
if resp == 220:
s.ehlo('x')
s.mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
s.quit()
Non-Working version =
import smtplib as mx
s=mx.SMTP('e32.co.us.ibm.com')
s.sock.settimeout(20)
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.ehlo('x')
resp, null = s.starttls()
if resp == 220:
s.ehlo('x')
s.mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
s.quit()
