Exception: Server address not specified

[Mark Billion]

Im pulling straight from the book and running on python anywhere, so Im a bit confused:

web2py Shell 2.11.2-stable+timestamp.2015.05.30.16.33.24

In [1] : from gluon.tools import Mail

In [2] : mail = Mail()

In [3] : mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:465'

In [4] : mail.settings.sender = 'a...@gmail.com'

In [5] : mail.settings.login = 'a...@gmail.com:b' ==> Alt (Ive used both): In [5] : mail.settings.login = 'a:b'

In [6] : q=mail.send('jo...@doe.com', 'Message subject', 'Plain text body of the message')

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "......gluon/contrib/shell.py", line 235, in run

    exec compiled in statement_module.__dict__

  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

  File "....gluon/tools.py", line 437, in send

    raise Exception('Server address not specified')

Exception: Server address not specified

Any thoughts?

before the mail.send print mail.settings.sender. It is possible this value is reset somewhere else. It should work

Its strange....

web2py Shell 2.7.4-stable+timestamp.2013.10.14.15.16.29In [1] : from gluon.tools import Mail

In [2] : mail = Mail()

In [3] : mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:465'

In [4] : mail.settings.sender = 'm...@gmail.com'

In [5] : mail.settings.login = 'm...@gmail.com:xyz'

In [6] : print mail.settings.sender

markb...@gmail.com

All is okay.  Then when I run  q=mail.send('jo...@doe.com', 'Message subject', 'Plain text body of the message'), literally the system stops responding (Im on web2py) and it wont even print me any output.  I have to reload the webapp....
