[Py2exe-users] Problems sending email from a service .exe

[Don D. <ddw...@ad...>]

I have a service that I've developed with Python 2.4, and use py2exe 
0.6.6 to turn into an .exe; this has been working quite nicely.

Now, I'm converting to Python 2.5, and have installed py2exe 0.6.8. 
After some fussing, I've gotten the service to compile and run nicely, 
with one exception: sending email with smtplib.  If I install the .py 
file as the service, email sending goes without a hitch; however, the 
compiled version consistently gets a "10061, 'Connection refused'" error 
from the SMTP server.  I haven't been able to figure out what the 
problem might be; debug output shows that the parameters to 
smtp.connect() are the same in both cases.  Any suggestions on what 
might be going on?

Thanks,
