python - SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server

Question

Using python I want to send email from my app but it shows the error

SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server

Code for the program,

import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
fromaddr = "test1@example.com"
toaddr = "test2@example.com"
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:

ehlo test1.example.com
250-hidden
250-HELP
250-SIZE 104857600
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250-STARTTLS
250 OK

I need to authenticate and send mail from app.

Answer 1

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()
