Event daemon not sending email

Pipeline Integrations

Hi all,

I have been having this issue for ages and only now am getting time to look into it.
My shotgun event framework never sends any emails when things fail.
I had a look at the code and found this bit:

smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
smtp.connect(self.mailhost, port)

I simplified this and tried to run:

smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
smtp.connect('smtp.gmail.com', 465)

This freezes the python interpreter so am assuming this is the culprit?!
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
If it is, how can this be fixed so I can finally rely on getting emails when the event daemon runs into trouble?

Cheers,
frank

Looks like using the port in the config file was the issue that caused the connect() method to freeze. Leaving it commented out makes it work.
Hooray…
