How to use
Run smtp.py but it does not work
self.state is -2

Do you have a smtp server running on your localhost?

Thanks!
I have not run a smtp server in localhost.
Whether to support the Gmail or hotmail?

To support gmail or hotmail as your mail sending agent - that's a very different library.

Thanks!
On my localhost running an SMTP server. Send mail sucessfully! But receive are spam. How to set a sender?

Hi @koblas,

I've added this to a git repo https://github.com/philwhln/tornado-smtp-client

Cheers,

Cool, thanks.

Sorry, I kinda abandoned this when was hitting issues I could not quickly resolve. I'm just using smtplib.SMTP right now and moving it to a separate process if necessary.

Any details on the issues, something that could be fixed in the fragment or something larger?

Basically messages were not going out. It seemed like something in the SMTP conversation was falling into stalemate.

Sorry, it's a couple of months so bit hazy. I didn't have time at the time to debug it thoroughly and I need some resilient over ioloop integrated.

One thing you should watch is expecting '\r\n' from SMTP servers. Not all servers use the same line endings and this is common gotcha when writing SMTP handlers that will leads stalemate. You'll wait all day for '\r\n' when the client already sent '\n'.
