Sending mail from vserver fails

gdm11 · 06-09-2011, 01:32 AM

Hi Guys,
i have calibre 0.8.4 installed on a Ubuntu 10.04LTS minimal vserver. now i want to fetch news from several websites, convert it into .mobi and send the files via smtp to my kindle.

everthing works fine, except the last step. i cannot send the emails from my server. i tried diffrent commands:

calibre-smtp --attachment myrecipe.mobi --relay smtp.gmail.com --port 587 --username XXXXXXX --password "XXXXX" --encryption-method TLS XXXXXn@gmail.com XXXXX@free.kindle.com

or

calibre-smtp -u XXXXX@gmail.com -p XXXXX -r smtp.gmail.com --port 587 -e TLS -a myrecipe.mobi -s "Test"

i get following error code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site.py", line 58, in main
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 205, in main
IndexError: list index out of range

i have no clue what i am doin wrong, can somebody help me please
