I'm getting the following error when trying to send an email through outlook using smpt.office365.com:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/anwg01/auto_bday_alerts/main.py", line 151, in <module>

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/socket.py", line 833, in create_connection
sock.connect(sa)
OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable
My program works fine when running locally and emails are sent but not in pythonanywhere for some reason. The other odd thing is that my program ran the first time but now everytime I run it, I get this "OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable" error.
I am using:
with smtplib.SMTP("smtp.office365.com", port=587) as connection:
connection.starttls() # ensures encryption and prevents data interception
connection.login(
user=from_email,
password=app_password
)
