I saw a similar error when I was not following the server's
authentication protocol -- either failing to authenticate when it
wanted it, or authenticating when it didn't want it. Here's the code
I use -- tested on both an Exchange server and on Comcast's SMTP
servers. It assumes some globals (in all caps) which you need to set
first.
def emailGivenString(host=SMTP_HOST, fromAddr=FROM_ADDR,
toAddr=TO_ADDR, subject='', body='', auth=False):
server = smtplib.SMTP(host)
if auth:
server.login('username', 'password')
outMessage = 'From: %s\rTo: %s\rSubject: %s\r%s' %
(FROM_HEADER, TO_HEADER, subject, body)
server.sendmail(fromAddr, toAddr, outMessage)
If this doesn't work, I second the previous suggestion of talking to
the server admin.

well, this type of authentication might work.Because the same process
of sending mail with authentication worked when i used java mail
application so iam confident of the same thing works in python also.
