在Ubuntu上未通过Python通过本地主机发送电子邮件

Question

I have the following simple code to send an email:

server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()

However the message never gets sent. I added the "set_debuglevel" line in an attempt to troubleshoot but the output doesn't mean much to me:

I have installed postfix (I believe it was installed by default when I set up my Ubuntu with the standard LAMP packages) but I don't know where else to go for help.

Any insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

1. you might want to check out sendmail's log

2. make sure your local DNS works. try ping foobarconsulting.com
