    smtplib data error

    Does anyone know what causes an SMTPLIB DataError?

    The only thing I can find in the manual is
    exception SMTPDataError
    The SMTP server refused to accept the message data.

    My problem is a previously functioning script suddenly failed last week.
    My ISP thinks it maybe something to do with upgrading CPanel on their
    server -- maybe a library was missed, but when I try and execute a
    script I get...

    Traceback (most recent call last): File "test-py.cgi", line 790, in ?
    sendemail(Email From, EmailTo, emsg) File "test-py.cgi", line 20, in
    sendemail failed = server.sendmail (EmailFrom, EmailTo, emsg) File
    "/usr/lib/python2.2/smtplib.py", line 685, in sendmail raise
    SMTPDataError(c ode, resp) smtplib.SMTPDat aError: (550, 'Administrative
    prohibition')

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Lester.

      If the drugs i got are still working, `550' error code stands "No soup for
      you!!" (Relaying Denied). Maybe the IP in your web server is not into the
      sendmail's access configuration file.

          Thanks, it turns out that the ISP upgraded their smtp server software
          which breaks smtplib, I guess. They suggest I use sendmail. The
          traceback above though seems to suggest that smtplib uses sendmail, so I
          don't know whether this will resolve or not

          Thanks again for your suggestions
          Lester

              No it doesn't. Rather it suggests there is a method on the
              server object called sendmail() and that it is raising the
              exception shown. You can check the source: smtplib.py is
              right there on your hard drive.
