How can I secure my SMTP server using smtplib?

To secure your SMTP server with smtplib, you should use TLS or SSL for encryption. You can do this by using the starttls() method.

What are the steps to implement TLS with smtplib?

First, import the smtplib and ssl modules. Then, create an SSL context and use it to wrap your SMTP connection.

Can you provide a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import smtplib
import ssl

port = 465  # For SSL
smtp_server = 'smtp.example.com'
context = ssl.create_default_context()

with smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_server, port, context=context) as server:
    server.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
    server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'Hello, this is a test email!')

What other security measures should I consider?

In addition to using TLS, consider implementing authentication, limiting access by IP address, and using strong passwords.
