I've been getting the following error:
WARNING:web2py:Mail.send failure:[Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed
for the following code:
mail = Mail()
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
mail.settings.sender = 'email@gmail.com'
mail.settings.login = 'email@gmail.com:password'
mail.send(to=[email],subject= 'TEST',message='helloWorld')
Can someone please assist me? I can't seem to find any documentation on what getaddrinfo is and where in the code the error is happening.
Thanks!
I use smtplib to do it.
# here i check if i send succesfully.
server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
# server.login(username, password) # optional
try:
toaddr = TO
cc = [CC]
bcc = ['']
toaddrs = [toaddr] + cc + bcc
failed = server.sendmail(FROM, toaddrs, msg.as_string())
server.close()
statusemail= "Email enviado com sucesso para %s" % TO
print statusemail
return statusemail
except Exception, e:
errorMsg = "Unable to send email. Error: %s" % str(e)
return errorMsg

This is problem with your computer's network settings. It is not a problem with your code.
Information about getaddrinfo here
If you are on a linux/unix-like system - you can try nslookup smtp.gmail.com
