  1. Great - so I've fixed my username now, that should be the full address @me.com according to that apple doc. But how do I set the required port of 587? I tried changing line 15 to: from smtplib import SMTP_SSL(,587,,,,) as SMTP # this invokes the secure SMTP protocol (port 465, uses SSL) but this just gives a syntax error: File "quickmessage.py", line 15 from smtplib import SMTP_SSL(,587,,,,) as SMTP # this invokes the secure SMTP protocol (port 465, uses SSL) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Probably making some basic Python error (total newbie on this) - if there is an obvious quick fix then please could you let me know? Is the local_hostname required - what should go here? Thanks so much for the instant response!
  2. Hi, I'd really love to get this working but am stuck. I'd be v grateful for a bit of help. If I run >python quickmessage.py -r blahblah@me.com -s "Quick message from me" -m "hello" to test if I have the quickmessage script set up ok, I get an error. Unable to send email message: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server. If I switch to SMTP_SSL in the script I get Unable to send email message: [Errno 60] Operation timed out Is this because I am trying to use iCloud as my SMTP server (smptServer = 'smtp.mail.me.com'), and Apple does not permit this usage? And if so, is there some sort of alternative set up that will allow me to send a message that comes from (or appears to come from) my blahblah@me.com email address? Thanks very much for any help, and thanks for sharing this workflow!
