I have an SMTP server running on localhost:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Problems:

If I am using gmail config I can send an email from python code. However, the 'From' user is being ignored and it defaults to the username associated with the login...
If I am not using a login based server (gmail or other), emails are being sent but not received

I am trying to generate an email from a 'do_not_reply@abc.com' but I cannot get it to work. What am I missing?

What does running an SMTP *server* have to do with your question? How does that relate to sending email "from python code?" – Robᵩ Sep 18 '15 at 01:37
If I'm not running this nothing gets sent... – zevij Sep 18 '15 at 02:02
