Re: smptplib problem SMTPRecipientsRefused for emails with ! exclamation mark in local portion of email
thanks i'll try that, I can also telnet on the server and see what I get if I use that recipient. I'm using exim, not sure why it would have that restriction -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: smptplib problem SMTPRecipientsRefused for emails with ! exclamation mark in local portion of email
No need to do more troubleshooting, need to update the config. Found that exim default config denies these so nothing to do with smptlib indeed: What this statement is doing is to accept unconditionally all recipients in messages that are submitted by SMTP from local processes using the standard input and output (that is, not using TCP/IP). A number of MUAs operate in this manner. denymessage = Restricted characters in address domains = +local_domains local_parts = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|] denymessage = Restricted characters in address domains = !+local_domains local_parts = ^[./|] : ^.*[@%!] : ^.*/\\.\\./ These statements are concerned with local parts that contain any of the characters "@", "%", "!", "/", "|", or dots in unusual places. Although these characters are entirely legal in local parts (in the case of "@" and leading dots, only if correctly quoted), they do not commonly occur in Internet mail addresses. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_default_configuration_file.html -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Its all in here for those using exim4 http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_default_configuration_file.html I went into /etc/exim4 and ran this command to find where the deny message is stored, which lead me to the regex variable CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS. So I searched for it, updated the values and restarted exim: grep -r CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS * -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
