Hi Jean-Paul
This is what I'm searching for ,Thanks a lot
Based on your posting I wrote a programme,but it showed me a error
like

"Failure: twisted.mail.smtp.SMTPDeliveryError: 554 No recipients
accepted"
and
"Relay access denied" errors

I can clearly figure out, that this error is because, i haven't
authenticated my email account to send mail.
I have username and password of smpt server ,how to authenticate in
Twisted Framework
