I am writing a simple sendmail function to myself and I keep getting this error:
NameError: name 'SMTPException' is not defined
What is wrong with my code? Any suggestions?
import smtplib
sender = "[email protected]"
receiver = ["[email protected]"]
message = "Hello!"
try:
session = smptlib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
session.ehlo()
session.starttls()
session.ehlo()
session.login(sender,'password')
session.sendmail(sender,receiver,message)
session.quit()
except SMTPException:
print('Error')
In Python, you will need to fully qualify the name by prefixing it with its module:
except smtplib.SMTPException:
This is true unless you specifically import the unqualified name (but I wouldn't recommend doing this for your program, just showing what's possible):
from smtplib import SMTPException
