How can I log errors when using smtplib in Python?

You can use the logging module in Python to log errors. First, import the logging module and configure it.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import logging
import smtplib

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR, filename='email_errors.log')

try:
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com')
    server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'Hello!')
except Exception as e:
    logging.error('Error occurred: %s', e)
finally:
    server.quit()

What if I want to log to the console instead?

You can change the logging configuration to log to the console by using StreamHandler instead of a file. Here's how:

import logging

# Configure logging to console
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)
