TimeOutError when trying to initiate smtplib.SMTP - thecosmos - Jun-19-2020
So I am try to make SMTP connection to a host received by MX query of its domain. But when I do
smtplib.SMTP('aspmx.l.google.com') or even smtplib.SMTP_SSL('aspmx.l.google.com'), it raises following TimeOutError.TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respondI am trying hard to figure out what could go wrong. I have even tried doing this on my cloud VPS instances but its still the same.
