I have this python program that sends me daily emails. This is my personal email account with Microsoft outlook.com. My code has been working fine but broke yesterday. Here is my code
def email(subject, text): import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.image import MIMEImage user = "[email protected]" passwd = "xxxxxx" sender = '[email protected]' receiver = '[email protected]' msg = MIMEMultipart('mixed') msg['Subject'] = subject msg['From'] = '[email protected]' msg['To'] = '[email protected]' text_plain = MIMEText(text,'plain','utf-8') msg.attach(text_plain) server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.login(user, passwd) server.sendmail(sender, receiver, msg.as_string()) server.quit() User, sender, receiver, to and from are all the same email address. When I run the script, I got this error
>>> email('test subject', 'test message') File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 19, in email File "/usr/lib/python3.6/smtplib.py", line 730, in login raise last_exception File "/usr/lib/python3.6/smtplib.py", line 721, in login initial_response_ok=initial_response_ok) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/smtplib.py", line 642, in auth raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp) smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful [MW4PR03CA0229.namprd03.prod.outlook.com]') Any ideas what could go wrong? This script has been working for at least half year.. Thanks! Difan
