First of all, this question has no malicious purposes. I had asked the same question yesterday in stackoverflow but it was removed. I would like to learn if I have to log into an account when sending emails with attachments using python smtplib module. The reason I don’t want to log in to an account is that because there is no account that I can use in my company. Or I can ask my company’s IT department to set up an account, but until that I want to write the program code and test it. Please don’t remove this question.
Best Regards
You don’t have to have an account (ie. authenticate to your SMTP server) if your company’s server is configured to accept mail from certain trusted networks.
Typically SMTP servers consider the internal network as trusted and may accept mail from it
without authentication.
