Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Please include error you're getting

#

but I assume it will be connected to ssl/tls

#

!d smtplib.SMTP.starttls

smtplib.SMTP.starttls 

SMTP.starttls(*, context=None)```
Put the SMTP connection in TLS (Transport Layer Security) mode. All SMTP commands that follow will be encrypted. You should then call [`ehlo()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html#smtplib.SMTP.ehlo) again.

If *keyfile* and *certfile* are provided, they are used to create an [`ssl.SSLContext`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext).

Optional *context* parameter is an [`ssl.SSLContext`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext) object; This is an alternative to using a keyfile and a certfile and if specified both *keyfile* and *certfile* should be `None`.

If there has been no previous `EHLO` or `HELO` command this session, this method tries ESMTP `EHLO` first.

Changed in version 3.12: The deprecated *keyfile* and *certfile* parameters have been removed.

so:

  1. create SMTP object
  2. starttls
  3. login
  4. send
  5. quit

if there's 2fa on the account, you'd need to create a token to use instead
(if it was gmail instead, it would actually require you to first add 2fa, then create a token)
