smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect()

Hi. When trying to send with a mail within a with section and with a body and an HTML file attached, I have this error.

Exception ignored in: <bound method SMTP.__del__ of <yagmail.yagmail.SMTP object at 0x101f08c18>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Steve/Library/Python/3.5/lib/python/site-packages/yagmail/yagmail.py", line 388, in __del__
    self.close()

    self.smtp.quit()

Hi, thanks for taking the time to post an issue. Could you provide some example code? I cannot reproduce by with + body + html file attached.

Hi,

Thx for your prompt reply.

I managed to fix it by not using the with section. The code ends without any error message (LEVEL=DEBUG), which seems normal as I don’t properly close the connection (following the hints of the doc).

The code is quite simple and really isn’t worth being sent. Maybe it is related to new GMail settings ?

Regards,

PS : btw, I am using Airmail on Mac. The HTML (see attached), which is an email signature, is attached to the email sent. It is well displayed in Airmail Client as an HTML body (which is ok) and also as a file attached but this one is continuously trying to download it and cannot be opened. In my former code, which is a step by step process for using Gmail (that’s why I was trying your very convenient library), I did not have this issue. When using Mail App on Mac, everything works in both cases. I know you are not supposed to support Airmail but maybe it may give you some hints about anything.

Seeing this error also. It looks like __del__ is getting called after the connection is already closed. It tries to close after already being closed, and this error is produced.

Could be easily made not to occur by checking if is_closed before closing in __del__, though honestly I have no idea why it's happening for me right now.

Wow, when you write "fixes and issue number" it closes automatically....

@kootenpv Yup, haha. Thanks for adding so quickly.

@steve2072 It appears my comment to you hadn't gone through. I'm not exactly sure what the problem/error is, but if you provide an example perhaps it can be fixed :)
