-202 (202) wrong password at umail.SMTP()

[davefes]

Been trying to track down the odd error when sending a daily log.

try: smtp = umail.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 465, ssl=True) except Exception as error: try: with open('errors.txt', 'a') as outfile: outfile.write(str(error) + '\n') except OSError: print('oops')

What I don't understand and Google doesn't seem to have an answer is why do I see the error on this call and not the next call:
smtp.login('davef@gmail.com', 'myPassword')
where I don't even have any logging.

Sorry can't figure out how to sort the code block.

Thanks

#8
It seems like you encounter the same error as before, are you sure your DNS resolves correctly?

Since changing to 8.8.8.8 the error rate dropped, say by a factor of 10. I mistakenly thought I might be seeing another problem. Maybe, I should have re-opened #8. I will Google for a method to check that DNS resolves correctly before trying to send the email. Thanks, Dave

Setup a simple script which repetitively called getaddrinfo(). On the ESP32 with esp32-idf4-20210202-v1.14 random -202 errors are generated. As I think this leaves uMail "out of the loop" I am closing the issue.
