Error while using SMTP in aws lambda function

Hi,

I am trying to create a skill that sends email to the user using the smtp library in python. The program works when i run it locally but its throwing error when i use it in a lambda function. below is the code:

    msg = email.mime.Multipart.MIMEMultipart()
    msg['Subject'] = 'test'
    msg['From'] = 'abc@xyz.com'
    msg['To'] = 'abc@xyz.com'
    smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.office365.com",587)
    smtpserver.starttls()
    smtpserver.login("abc@xyz.com", "123")
    smtpserver.sendmail("sender",'receiver', msg.as_string())
    smtpserver.close()

It was a time out error. I changed the interval settings in lambda configuration.Now it works. Thank you

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login("abcxyz@example.com", "hahah") text = msg.as_string() server.sendmail(fromaddr, rcpt, text)

use this code while sending email by using Python

Thank You

import smtplib
from_addr = 'fromemailid@company.com'
username = 'user1'
password = 'pwd'

def send_email():


    to_addrs = "user1@company.com"

    msg = "\r\n".join([
        "From: fromemailid@company.com",
        "To: "+to_addrs,
        "Subject: Test Email ",
        "",
        "Hello" + ", \n This is a test email"
    ])

    server = smtplib.SMTP('123.45.678.9')
    server.ehlo()
    server.starttls()
    server.login(username, password)
    server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)
    server.quit()
