Unable to send or recieve emails from python aiosmtpd SMTP server, stuck at 250 ok [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
aiosmtpd - python smtp server
(1 answer)
Closed 3 months ago.
I had "successfully" made an SMTP server. The code works fine connecting to SMTP clients. But it is neither able to recieve emails nor send it. I tried with various test servers and also the standard gmail/yahoo etc.
Here is the code:

You can test the server reachability . I am stuck and spent 2 whole days to no avail. The issue is definetely not connectivity, I put the port 25 open. Made sure there are no external issues with godaddy either. Any help will be appreicated.
Edit:1
A quick peak at the wire shark data shows absolutely no packet is being transmitted to the outside when I run the client script.
Here is the clinet script I used for testing.
from smtplib import SMTP as Client
from aiosmtpd.controller import Controller
class controller:
hostname='192.168.1.33'
port=25
client = Client(controller.hostname, controller.port)
r = client.sendmail('a#galam.in', ['tester#192.168.1.200'], """\

Hi Bart, this is Anne.
""")

SMTP 250 code means that a successful connection has been established however the remote host you are sending mails to might have categorized the domain the mail is being sent from as not legitimate.
This can happen if your domain is not authenticated/verified.
You can relay your messages through a trusted SMTP service like sendgrid
You can also check if your domain is verified by sending a mail from your service to check-auth#verifier.port25.com. Port25 is an automated tool that verified your DNS records, SPF records etc.
Hope this works for you!

Can't connect to Interactive Brokers with python

I want to connect to IB with python, here is my code:
from ib.ext.Contract import Contract
from ib.ext.Order import Order
from ib.opt import Connection, message
def error_handler(msg):
print "Server Error: %s" % msg
def reply_handler(msg):
print "Server Response: %s, %s" % (msg.typeName, msg)
if __name__ == "__main__":
tws_conn = Connection.create(port=7496, clientId=100)
tws_conn.connect()
tws_conn.register(error_handler, 'Error')
tws_conn.registerAll(reply_handler)
Whenever I use this code I receive this error which indicates that I can't connect to server:
Server Error: <error id=-1, errorCode=504, errorMsg=Not connected>
Server Response: error, <error id=-1, errorCode=504, errorMsg=Not connected>
Why I can't connect to IB?

Three things:
Make sure the TWS java app is running and you are logged in.
In TWS, go to Global Configuration > API, and make sure "Enable Active and Socket Clients" is checked.
In Global Configuration > API, make sure you add "127.0.0.1" as a Trusted IP Address (this assumes your py code is running on the same machine that is running the TWS java app.

Hey so what you need to do is a couple of things. First off, you need Python 3.5 or above. So your print statements should use (). Second, you need to specify an IP address which is set to your local machine. Third, enjoy. I used this and got:
Server Version: 76
TWS Time at connection:20170613 21:10:55 MST
from ib.ext.Contract import Contract
from ib.ext.Order import Order
from ib.opt import Connection, message
def error_handler(msg):
print("Server Error: %s" % msg)
def reply_handler(msg):
print("Server Response: %s, %s" % (msg.typeName, msg))
if __name__ == "__main__":
tws_conn = Connection.create("127.0.0.1", port=7496, clientId=100)
tws_conn.connect()
tws_conn.register(error_handler, 'Error')
tws_conn.registerAll(reply_handler)

Twisted Python - IRC Client

first question here.
So for a club at school we are working on making a IRC client in Python and Twisted.
So I take the example bot that twisted gives you. I've managed to get it connected to a irc channel, and it logs.
I know I've probably gotta use 2 threads to have both reading from the server and input simultaneous, which I can achieve, but only if it command line input. Mind you it is still logging the data from the channel at the same time.
So to do this I used: d = threads.deferToThread(aSillyBlockingMethod)
Which calls my raw_input() loop.
My problem lies in not being able to figure out how to change this from just typing into and printing form the commandline; to being able to actually send messages to the irc server for other people to read.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a novice python programmer and don't know too much web stuff; like protocols, ports, and stuff like that but I am slowly picking them up. If anyone knows of an easier way to do this let me know please I am not committed to using Twisted.
Here is my code, or rather the modified bot I'm tinkering with:

I know I've probably gotta use 2 threads to have both reading from the server and input simultaneous, which I can achieve, but only if it command line input. Mind you it is still logging the data from the channel at the same time.
Actually, it's not necessary to use two threads for this. A major strength of Twisted is doing I/O without using threads. The question and answer Michael linked to talk about Twisted's non-threaded support for interacting with standard input and standard output via twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.
My problem lies in not being able to figure out how to change this from just typing into and printing form the commandline; to being able to actually send messages to the irc server for other people to read.
IRCClient has a method for sending messages to the IRC server - the sample code you included in your question even uses this method already, IRCClient.msg. All you need to do is call it.
Your threaded code could change like this to do so (again, threads are unnecessary, but in the interest of just showing you how to send a message from your input handling code, I'll base this part of the answer on threads, to avoid other changes to the code which might make the answer harder to understand. You do not need threads to do this.):
def aSillyBlockingMethod(bot):
import time
while True:
msg = raw_input()
bot.threadSafeMsg("#bottest", msg)
class LogBot(irc.IRCClient):
"""A logging IRC bot."""
nickname = "twistedbot"
def connectionMade(self):
irc.IRCClient.connectionMade(self)
self.logger = MessageLogger(open(self.factory.filename, "a"))
self.logger.log("[connected at %s]" %
time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time())))
# The bot is now connected. Start reading input here.
# Pass a reference to this protocol instance, so that
# messages can be sent to this protocol instance.
deferToThread(aSillyBlockingMethod, self)
# Define a helper function for aSillyBlockingMethod to use.
# Since aSillyBlockingMethod runs in a thread, it cannot just call
# IRCClient.msg, since that method - like almost all methods in Twisted -
# is not thread-safe. Instead it must call this thread-safe wrapper.
def threadSafeMsg(self, channel, message):
reactor.callFromThread(self.msg, channel, message)
Notice that all that's happening here is that aSillyBlockingMethod is calling a method on LogBot. The thread-safe wrapper would not be necessary when using StandardIO, since that eliminates the need for threads.

Python twisted: Functions are not called properly?

I've got a problem with setting up a client which connects to a "distributor" server to send certain data.
The server's purpose is to get data from the client and then send that data to it's all connected clients. The server works without any issues.
The main client is also supposed to work as an IRC bot.
Here's a text example of how it should work like:
(IRC) John: Hello there!
1. The IRC client got the message, we need to send it to the distributor now.
2. Distributor should get this "John: Hello there!" string and send it back to it's all connected clients.
3. If other clients send data to the distributor, which this will broadcast to all clients, the IRC client should output at it's turn the received data to a specified channel
The following code is the IRC bot client (ircbot.py):
import sys
import socket
import time
import traceback
from twisted.words.protocols import irc
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet import protocol
VERBOSE = True
f = None
class IRCBot(irc.IRCClient):
def _get_nickname(self):
return self.factory.nickname
nickname = property(_get_nickname)
def signedOn(self):
self.msg("NickServ", "id <password_removed>") # Identify the bot
time.sleep(0.1) # Wait a little...
self.join(self.factory.channel) # Join channel #chantest
print "Signed on as %s." % (self.nickname,)
def joined(self, channel):
print "Joined %s." % (channel,)
def privmsg(self, user, channel, msg):
name = user.split('!', 1)[0]
prefix = "%s: %s" % (name, msg)
print prefix
if not user:
return
if self.nickname in msg:
msg = re.compile(self.nickname + "[:,]* ?", re.I).sub('', msg)
print msg
else:
prefix = ''
if msg.startswith("!"):
if name.lower() == "longdouble":
self.msg(channel, "Owner command") # etc just testing stuff
else:
self.msg(channel, "Command")
if channel == "#testchan" and name != "BotName":
EchoClient().sendData('IRC:'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
# This should make the bot send chat data to the distributor server (NOT IRC server)

reactor.connectTCP('irc.rizon.net', 6667, IRC) # Our IRC connection
f = EchoFactory()
reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 8000, f) # Connection to the Distributor server
reactor.run()
The following code is the distributor server (distributor.py):
(This one works fine, but maybe it could be useful for further reference)
from twisted.internet.protocol import Protocol, Factory
from twisted.internet import reactor
class MultiEcho(Protocol):
def __init__(self, factory):
self.factory = factory
def connectionMade(self):
print "Client connected:",self
self.factory.echoers.append(self)
self.factory.clients = self.factory.clients+1
#self.transport.write("Welcome to the server! There are currently "+`self.factory.clients`+" clients connected.")
def dataReceived(self, data):
print "RECV:",data
for echoer in self.factory.echoers:
echoer.transport.write(data)
def connectionLost(self, reason):
print "Client disconnected:",self
self.factory.echoers.remove(self)
self.factory.clients = self.factory.clients-1
class MultiEchoFactory(Factory):
def __init__(self):
self.clients = 0
self.names = []
self.echoers = []
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
return MultiEcho(self)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "Running..."
reactor.listenTCP(8000, MultiEchoFactory())
reactor.run()
I want the client to output all incoming chat data from the IRC server to the "distributor" server and also output incoming data from the "distributor".
However, I get errors like this:
For the following line in ircbot.py,
EchoClient().sendData('IRC'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
I get the following error:

What am I doing wrong? How can I call the right function from the IRCbot class to make it send the data to the distributor server and data received from the distributor server to output in the specified channel via IRC?
Any suggestions and possible solutions are welcome.
If I missed any other details, please let me know.
Thank you for your time!

You should avoid writing blocking code like this:
def signedOn(self):
self.msg("NickServ", "id <password_removed>") # Identify the bot
time.sleep(0.1) # Wait a little...
self.join(self.factory.channel) # Join channel #chantest
print "Signed on as %s." % (self.nickname,)
For details, see Tail -f log on server, process data, then serve to client via twisted.
Apart from that, the main problem here is that you are trying to send data without having a connection. When you write something like:
EchoClient().sendData('IRC'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
you're creating a protocol instance which is responsible for handling a connection and then trying to use it, but you're not creating a connection. The attempt to send data fails because the protocol hasn't been attached to any transport.
Your snippet already demonstrates the correct way to create a connection, twice in fact:
IRC = BotFactory('#chantest')
reactor.connectTCP('irc.rizon.net', 6667, IRC) # Our IRC connection
f = EchoFactory()
reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 8000, f) # Connection to the Distributor server
The mistake is creating a new EchoClient instance, one with no connection. The reactor.connectTCP call creates a new connection and a new EchoClient instance and associates them with each other.
Instead of EchoClient().sendData(...), you want to use the EchoClient instance created by your factory:
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
print 'Connected to the Distributor'
return EchoClient()
Your buildProtocol implementation creates the instance, all that's missing is for it to save the instance so it can be used by your IRC bot.
Consider something like this:
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
print 'Connected to the Distributor'
self.connection = EchoClient()
return self.connection
Your IRC client can then use the saved EchoClient instance:
if channel == "#testchan" and name != "BotName":
f.connection.sendData('IRC:'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
# This should make the bot send chat data to the distributor server (NOT IRC server)
Note that the specific code I give here is a very crude approach. It uses the global variable f to find the EchoFactory instance. As with most global variable usage this makes the code a little hard to follow. Further, I haven't added any code to handle connectionLost events to clear the connection attribute out. This means you might think you're sending data to the distributed server when the connection has already been lost. And similarly, there's no guarantee that the connection to the distributed server will have been created by the time the IRC client first tries to use it, so you may have an AttributeError when it tries to use f.connection.sendData.
However, fixing these doesn't require much of a leap. Fix the global variable usage as you would any other - by passing arguments to functions, saving objects as references on other objects, etc. Fix the possible AttributeError by handling it, or by not creating the IRC connection until after you've created the distributed connection, etc. And handle lost connections by resetting the attribute value to None or some other sentinel, and paying attention to such a case in the IRC code before trying to use the distributed client connection to send any data.

TFM is never defined in your code, so I don't know what the deal is there.
The other error is that you're instantiating a client, but never connecting it to anything, as with reactor.connectTCP(...) or endpoint.connect(...). The transport attribute will be None until it's set by something.
(It would be helpful for you to come up with a simpler version of this code which is complete and doesn't include unnecessary details like all the printed log messages. It makes it harder to see what the real issues are.)

Getting response from bluetooth device

I'm trying to write a simple module that will enable sending SMS. I using bluetooth to connect to the mobile using the below example:
file: bt-sendsms.py
import bluetooth
target = '00:32:AC:32:36:E8' # Mobile address
print "Trying to send SMS on %s" % target
BTSocket = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
BTSocket.connect((target, 2)) # BT Address
BTSocket.send('ATZ\r')
BTSocket.send('AT+CMGF=1\r')
#sockfd.send('AT+CSCA="+972547716507"\r') # This line changes the SMSC address - do not modify unless required
BTSocket.send('AT+CMGS="+972547877763"\r') # TO Phone Number
BTSocket.send('This is a test message - port 2.\n')
BTSocket.send(chr(26)) # CTRL+Z
print "SMS sent"
sockfd.close()
print "Closed"
My problem is that I'm unable to verify or get an error code for the SMS sending or any of the socket operation.
Any referral to the right direction will be appreciated

From the Python you look like you are opening any old RFCOMM channel and hoping it will magically take the AT commands and do the messaging.
I think (and I could be wrong) that you need to connect to a specific profile/sevice channel and I think for SMS it is the the Messaging Access Profile (MAP), which is not yet standardised so finding a phone with it on, well I won't say impossible but very, very unlikely. Otherwise, some phones will support AT commands for messaging but this is outside the specs e.g. I have it on authority that Sony-Ericson phones will support it though the Dial-Up Networking profile (DUN).
So, first of all, does your mobile device support some out of spec AT commands for SMS and if so, on a certain profile or on an ad-hoc proprietary one? Next, you need to connect to that profile.
You can browse the supported services etc... using the following Python (checks all surrounding BT devices)...
import bluetooth
def whats_nearby():
name_by_addr = {}
nearby = bluetooth.discover_devices(flush_cache=True)
for bd_addr in nearby:
name = bluetooth.lookup_name( bd_addr, 5)
print bd_addr, name
name_by_addr[bd_addr] = name
return name_by_addr
def what_services( addr, name ):
print " %s - %s" % ( addr, name )
for services in bluetooth.find_service(address = addr):
print "\t Name: %s" % (services["name"])
print "\t Description: %s" % (services["description"])
print "\t Protocol: %s" % (services["protocol"])
print "\t Provider: %s" % (services["provider"])
print "\t Port: %s" % (services["port"])
print "\t service-classes %s" % (services["service-classes"])
print "\t profiles %s" % (services["profiles"])
print "\t Service id: %s" % (services["service-id"])
print ""
if __name__ == "__main__":
name_by_addr = whats_nearby()
for addr in name_by_addr.keys():
what_services(addr, name_by_addr[addr])
Once you find the correct service/profile, your next problem will be negotiating security (pin code for pairing), which I haven't worked out how to do yet!
