Re: [google-appengine] Using SMTP on GAE

[Barry Hunter]

To send mail use the Mail API - that is the only supported way to do it. 

In Production - on appspot - the Mail API sends emails via Googles infrastructure. 

But the development environment is emulating the real environment. It of course cant use Googles infrastructure, so instead you tell give it a SMTP server it can use directly. The SMTP interface is not exposed to the actual application (because it would be non functional online anyway)

Hello ! I have some problems about sending email on GAE.

The book  Programming Google App Engine  tells that:

To configure the Python development server to use an SMTP server to send email, use the --smtp_host=... (with optional --smtp_port=...), --smtp_user=..., and --smtp_password=... arguments:

dev_appserver.py \

    --smtp_host=smtp.example.com \

    --smtp_user=exmail \

    --smtp_password="t3!!t43w0r!d" \

    appdir

http://librairie.immateriel.fr/fr/read_book/9780596522728/ch11s02#book_page_last

But I can't find that GAE supports using SMTP to send email.

API:https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendingmail

Now I want to send email from my own domain accounts (e.g. us...@example.com),and I have a SMTP server(smtp.example.com).

How can I do it?

Thanks.

PErhaps should qualify that: The only way to do it running directly in AppEngine. 

Can use other third party services/servers, as long as they have HTTP Interface/API (to be used by URLFetch API) or a number of other protocols that AppEngine supports (email! and XMPP) . 

So if you really need to send via SMTP, could find a server that has a HTTP interface, which then dispatches off via SMTP

Thank you for helping me to answer questions.

I found my problem. I have thought that development web server is on the server.Actually it is on the local.

Also,thank you for your suggestions.I will consider them.

FYI: the Sockets API lets you use SMTP (authenticated SMTP only).  If you're interested in trying it out, please sign up for the trusted tester program:
