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.

I already managed to set it up to some point

#

I can send mails to outlook and my uni email succesfully

setting it up is not the issue

making sure that the emails get sent RELIABLEY is the issue

#

anyone can set up a mail server , its freaking easy

Yes but i can't setup the dkim security measure

#

Also after even setting up the spf and trying to send to google i get an error that spf auth failed

afaik , these methods used to indicate that the sender and domain name is legit

but there is still the question of not being in the whitelist of gmail

so even if you manage to set these things up , you will still end up going to spam
