I am on a Linux machine. My company has an email exchange server which is already configured. I am using a Python script to try to login to the email server so that I can send an email programmatically. Here is what I have so far -
server = smtplib.SMTP('email-0.abc.com', 25)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo_or_helo_if_needed()
server.login('abc/johndoe', 'pwd')
However, at the server.login command, I get an error as
raise SMTPException("No suitable authentication method found.")
SMTPException: No suitable authentication method found.
Anyone know what the problem is please?
Thanks

SMTP connection can't be established If you have turned on the 2-factor authentication for your email account so you either need to turn it off or generate an app password for your email account. That app password can be used in your SalesHandy account to connect the email account via SMTP method.
If getting "Username and Password not accepted" 535 5.7. 8 error, but user name and password work logging onto email via web (with 2-factor authentication), you may need to enable "Access for less secure apps" (allow exceptions to 2-factor authentication) in your email settings.
To send the mail you use smtpObj to connect to the SMTP server on the local machine and then use the sendmail method along with the message, the from address, and the destination address as parameters (even though the from and to addresses are within the e-mail itself, these aren't always used to route mail).
You might need to switch to STARTTLS authentication. Here's an example that helped me.
