hi
having a few problems sending an email with smtplib. i do have an
smtp server running on port 25 of my local machine
here's the relevant code (taken from python docs):
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.connect()
s.sendmail(me, to, msg.as_string())
s.close()
and i'm getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pysendmail.py", line 31, in ?
s = smtplib.SMTP()
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/smtplib.py", line 254, in __init__
addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
if i don't sepcify 'localhost' i get the same error
if i specify the port and local_hostname too
class SMTP([host[, port[, local_hostname]]])
then my script just freezing at some point trying to connect/send and
the email doesn't get sent
if anyone can help that would be great...
jon
