I created this software in python 3
import smtplib
TO = 'anywhere@mail.com'
SUBJECT = 'Text subject of the mail'
TEXT = 'Text of the mail'
gmail_sender = 'yourMail@gmail.com'
gmail_passwd = 'password'
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(gmail_sender, gmail_passwd)
BODY = '
'.join(['To: %s' % TO,
'From: %s' % gmail_sender,
'Subject: %s' % SUBJECT,
'', TEXT])
try:
server.sendmail(gmail_sender, [TO], BODY)
print ('email sent')
except:
print ('error sending mail')
server.quit()
The first day the software worked well but now I always have an authentification error from gmail :
smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials o81-v6sm9180362wmo.38 - gsmtp')
What I did already is :
I desactivated the unlock captchar from this link :
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
and I have enabled the less secure apps from this link:
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
But still the same, I can't send an e-mail anymore. It doesn't seems that there's a Python software problem because I wrote the same software in Go and I still receive the same error.
