I'm a Python beginner trying to write a simple script to send the latest logs from my Suricata IDS. I'm interested in what SMTP service would be best to use for integrating into a script like this - https://julien.danjou.info/sending-emails-in-python-tutorial-code-examples/
port = 2525
smtp_server = "smtp.mailtrap.io"
login = "1a2b3c4d5e6f7g" # paste your login generated by Mailtrap
password = "1a2b3c4d5e6f7g" # paste your password generated by Mailtrap
I tried Gmail and there were issues with accessing, even when trying different ports and SSL (tried what was done here How to send an email with Python?) . Mailtrap requires a subscription to use the service. Should I just use Postfix and localhost or what would people recommend for an easy to access SMTP server for sending daily alerts?
