import smtplib

sender = 'from@fromdomain.com'
receivers = ['to@todomain.com']

message = """From: From Person <from@fromdomain.com>
To: To Person <to@todomain.com>
Subject: SMTP e-mail test

This is a test e-mail message.
"""

try:
   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')
   smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)
   print "Successfully sent email"
except smtplib.SMTPException:
   print "Error: unable to send email"

I get the following error when I try to run the script.

Did you read my code snippet of sending gmail? Compare it with yours, it works.

I haven't read your code snippet. Could you direct me to the link or post the code here??
