Hi,

I just want to send a very simple email from within python.

I think the standard module of smtpd in python can do this, but I
haven't found documents about how to use it after googleing. Are there
any examples of using smtpd ? I'm not an expert,so I need some examples
to learn how to use it.

See standard documentation:

http://docs.python.org/lib/SMTP-example.html

HTH,
RobI have read the example and copied the code and save as send.py, then I
run it. Here is the output:
$ python send.py
From: fdu.xia...@xxxxxxxxx
To: fdu.xia...@xxxxxxxxx
Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):
just a test from localhost
Message length is 82
send: 'ehlo [202.127.19.74]\r\n'
reply: '250-WebMail\r\n'
reply: '250 AUTH plain\r\n'
reply: retcode (250); Msg: WebMail
AUTH plain
send: 'mail FROM:<fdu.xia...@xxxxxxxxx>\r\n'
reply: '502 negative vibes\r\n'
reply: retcode (502); Msg: negative vibes
send: 'rset\r\n'
reply: '502 negative vibes\r\n'
reply: retcode (502); Msg: negative vibes
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "send.py", line 26, in ?

Do I have to setup a smtp server on my localhost ?

You need to use login method
<http://docs.python.org/lib/SMTP-objects.html>. And by the way, the
subject of your message is very confusing, you are posting log where
you're sending email using external server.
