Let me put it this way:
The client will switch to TLS encryption once it sees STARTTLS in server's response, regardless of the status of 'ssl'.
It all depends on server's reply. If you want to enforce a secure connection, then you should let the server to always reply STARTTLS.
Setting 'ssl=True' is just for encrypting the initial connection(i.e., when you connecting to a port that only supports secure connection).

I've already understood all that after your first reply.
But what if I have no control over the server and the server doesn't enforce
but supports STARTTLS and I want to initiate STARTTLS from the client? With the CPython smtplib module, I would do something like this:
Code: Select all
def send_email(from, to, msg, host='localhost', user=None, password=None, ssl=False, starttls=False):
if ssl:
smtp_class = smtplib.SMTP_SSL
port = 465
else:
smtp_class = smtplib.SMTP
port = 587
smtp = smtp_class(host, port)
if starttls:
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
...

I see, but adding a 'starttls=True|False' besides 'ssl' would be too confusing for many users.
There is however a hack you can do (without changing the code).
Code: Select all
smtp.SMTP('xxx', xx)
# after smtp instance is initialized
code, _ = smtp.cmd('STARTTLS')
assert code == 220
smtp._sock = ussl.wrap_socket(smtp._sock)
# then proceed to login, etc.
...

Ok, thanks for the workaround.
I don't think that a separate option for starttls would be too confusing, but opinions differ

Using a Pycom GPy board these are my results...
GoDaddy ('smtpout.secureserver.net', 465, ssl=True) works
Offie365 ('smtp.office365.com', 587, ssl=xxxx)
# SSL True = OSError: [Errno 113] EHOSTUNREACH
# SSL False = AssertionError: auth error 535
Outlook Mail ('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 587, ssl=xxxx)
# SSL True = OSError: [Errno 113] EHOSTUNREACH
# SSL False = AssertionError: auth error 535
don't want to use "Allow less secure apps"
G mail ('smtp.gmail.com', 465, ssl=xxxx)
# SSL True = OSError: [Errno 113] EHOSTUNREACH
# SSL False = OSError: [Errno 113] EHOSTUNREACH
anyone able to connect to these email servers?
or other servers?
What am I missing or not understanding.

Hi all,
gotten a bit further and uploaded umail.py into the ESP32 and ran the import command
during this line,
smtp = umail.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 465, ssl=True)
it reported:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SMTP'
did i do something wrong? Please advice... Thanks.
