I have a pretty simple python script that sends emails, something like this:

import smtplib

from email.MIMEText import MIMEText

msg = MIMEText("test email")
msg['Subject'] = // ... yada yada 

for iIndex in range(0,200):
  s = smtplib.SMTP('smptserver')
  // send the email
  s.quit()

My problem is, typically 1 of the 200 emails will never arrive. I don’t see any error messages on the console, so I’m assuming that the email was send to the SMTP server, and the SMTP server is dropping the ball.

But before I bug the SMTP guys, I want to make sure I’m not missing an error somewhere.

Is there somewhere other than the console where python will output the error message?

Thanks,
Rob

    If an error was thrown, you’d see something in the console. However, you could probably solve this using SMTP.set_debuglevel() with any true value. Doing this will display “debug messages for connection and for all messages sent to and received from the server.”
