(421, b'Cannot connect to SMTP server, connect error 10061')

I'm trying to send an actual email to myself from my website using send_mail. I had used localhost and the following cmd command,
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
in order to test it. It intercepts with no problem, but I don't see anything in my inbox.
Here is the settings.py file:
EMAIL_HOST = '178.67.220.242' # My current ip address
EMAIL_PORT = '587' # Port of the email host
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'b....a1#gmail.com' # Here is my actual email
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '.....' # Here is my actual password from my email login
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
Here is the views.py file:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from .forms import ContactForm
def contact(request):
form = ContactForm
if request.method == 'POST':
message_name = request.POST.get('name')
message_email = request.POST.get('email')
message = request.POST.get('message')
send_mail(message_name, message, message_email, ['b....a1#gmail.com'])
return render(request, 'contact.html', {'form': form})
Here is the error:

Why are you putting your IP as EMAIL_HOST, this shall be the IP of the email server which by Gmail from the settings which shall be 'smtp.gmail.com'

Email cannot be sent in Python.[Errno 61] Connection refused error happens

Email cannot be sent in Python.I want to send an email by using Gmail.
I wrote codes in views.py like
def mail(mail_adress, docx):
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg["Subject"] = "TEST"
msg["From"] = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER
msg["To"] = email
message = "TEST"
body = MIMEText(message)
msg.attach(body)
mime = {'type': 'text', 'subtype': 'docx'}
attach_file = {'name': 'test.docx', 'path': '/Users/test.docx'}
attachment = MIMEBase(mime['type'], mime['subtype'])
file = open(attach_file['path'], 'rb')
attachment.set_payload(file.read())
file.close()
encoders.encode_base64(attachment)
msg.attach(attachment)
attachment.add_header("Content-Disposition", "attachment", filename=attach_file['name'])
return msg
def send(from_addr, to_addrs, msg):
smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
smtp.connect()
from_addr = 'xxxx#gmail.com'
from_addr_name = "test"
to_addr= "yyyyy#gmail.com"
subject = u"test"
message = "test"
body = MIMEText(message)
mime = {'type': 'text', 'subtype': 'docx'}
attach_file = {'name': 'test.docx', 'path': '/Users/test.docx'}
msg = mail(from_addr, from_addr_name, to_addr, subject, body, mime, attach_file)
smtp.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)
smtp.close()
send()
in settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'xxxx#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxxxxxxxx'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
When I run the codes,

That is my configuration on settings.py
I try changing the port to 587, try with gmail account but doesn't work
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail#hotmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

It's probably missing "Email From" variable either in settings.py or your view.
Try this:
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.live.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youremail#hotmail.com'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'youremail#hotmail.com'
EMAIL_FROM = 'youremail#hotmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'yourpassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is used in stock Django views, but if you have your own custom one, then you can import those variables as well:
from django.conf import settings
send_mail(
mail_subject,
message,
settings.EMAIL_FROM,
[to_email],
fail_silently=False,
)

This can be solved very easily by adding the following line in settings.py:
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "support#urmail.com"
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "support#urmail.com"
Make sure that both EMAIL_HOST_USER and DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is same email Id.
send_mail also will work perfectly but there is no facility to add attachment in that option.

Error trying to send email to gmail python

Hi all I am new to python. I am trying to send an image to my gmail account and getting the below error can someone help me with this.

Your code can be shortened down to just two lines:
import smtplib
mailServer = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 465)
And if you get smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected, this means that your question is not about the code. Something is blocking your network connection to port 465.

A SMTP server on port 465 is listening for encrypted TLS connections. The client is not supposed to start the encryption with STARTTLS, because TLS is active from the beginning. That SMTP command is used on port 587 where SMTP servers are listening for plaintext connections.

you can use flask_mail library for sending mail.Here is just quick review..
'
from flask_mail import Mail, Message
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'your secretkey'
app.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.gmail.com'
app.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 465
app.config['MAIL_USE_TLS'] = False
app.config['MAIL_USE_SSL'] = True
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = 'your gmail id'
app.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = 'and its password'
mail = Mail(app)
msg = Message(subject=subject, sender=(master().user(),
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME']), recipients=[recipients])
msg.body = "%s %s" % (body, msg.sender)
if html is not None:
msg.html = str(html)
mail.connect()
mail.send(msg)

Django; sending email from my own postfix mail server

On the vps where I host a django website, I have set up a postfix mailserver to be used by django for email. The mailserver works. Using mutt on the vps command line, I can send and receive mail to/from other accounts like gmail etc.
Still, I am having trouble using postfix to send mail from django.
I followed the advice in https://stackoverflow.com/a/28143166/1009979, with settings...
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
When I try
>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'from#example.com', ['andrews.markw#gmail.com'])
I get

SMTPRecipientsRefused: {u'andrews.markw#gmail.com': (550, '5.7.1 <vps7718.webhosting.uk.com>: Helo command rejected: Host not found')}
When I google for advice about SMTPRecipientsRefused: or Helo command rejected: Host not found, no obvious solutions to my problems arise.
Is there something wrong with the settings?
I should mention that I have no general problem problem with django email. For example, I can send gmail emails from django (following settings and procedure described here https://stackoverflow.com/a/23402208/1009979).

Make sure you have permit_mynetworks in smtpd_helo_restrictions and smtpd_recipient_restrictions in /etc/postfix/main.cf
