hello,

I just tried a free account on PythonAnyWhere for testing a web2py application. Installation went fluently.

Now I've trouble with sending emails through a smtp server. I understand that the possibilities of a free account are limited.

So I tried smtp.gmail.com:587 which doesn't generate an error on PythonAnyWhere, but is rejected by Google, because Google assumes my account/password is hacked.

So I tried another free smtp service smtp.mandrillapp.com:587 on which PythonAnyWhere gives the following error 2014-02-19 21:41:55,731 :Mail.send failure:[Errno 111] Connection refused

Any solutions ? thanks, Stef

I think there's some way of viewing blocked/suspicious activity in gmail, and then allowing some through... check out this past thread

thanks Harry, indeed the thread you pointed to, gave the solution. cheers, Stef

Thanks for confirming!
