SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server
Code for the program,
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
fromaddr = "[email protected]"
toaddr = "[email protected]"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = fromaddr
msg['To'] = toaddr
msg['Subject'] = "Test Mail"
body = "Test mail from python"
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com', 25)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(fromaddr, "password")
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)
server.quit()
Telnet Output:

I need to authenticate and send mail from app.
Answer
a connection is required before login and sendemail.
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com', 25)
server.connect("smtp.example.com",465)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(fromaddr, "password")
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)
server.quit()
