I have a small python script below which sends emails to my company outlook email. it works fine on my personal computer but when i am deploying it to server it keeps running and timeout but doesn't send email .
import os
import smtplib
import subprocess
from sys import exit
cmd = 'df -kh'
p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd,shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
std,err = p1.communicate()
output=std.decode()
#print (output)
smtp=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.outlook.com', 587)
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.login('email','password')
subject = 'Send_Disk_Info_Daily'
body = output;
msg = (("subject : {} ".format(subject))+("\n\n{}".format(body)))
smtp.sendmail('email', 'email',msg)
smtp.quit()
Below is the error when it gets timedout-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "send_disk_info.py", line 16, in <module>
smtp=smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.outlook.com', 587, timeout=20)

raise err

I am not able to do telnet to outlook, it also gets timed out. see below:-
[linux_server Python]$ telnet smtp.outlook.com 587
Trying 40.101.4.2...
^C
[linux_server Python]$
below are listening ports on this server.
linux_server Python]$ netstat -tulpn|grep -i listen

Can someone help me understand the issue and fix it. Or is there any alternate way to config this email sending script.
Any help is appreciated . Thanks in advance !
