socket.error: [Errno 10013] Port forbidden access permissions












5














When trying to use a Python script I get this error:




socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in
a way forbidden by its access permissions




I put the post on Stackoverflow and I have been guided to come here and follow up with why I get the error.



https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18370235/socket-error-sending-email-using-gmail



As the post on stackoverflow suggests, the issue is not with Python, but my computer. I can even telnet to smtp.gmail.com



Can anyone provide any suggestions?



EDIT: SOLVED



The problem was McAfee Antivirus. It was blocking the socket connection.



From McAfee Access Protection Log



23/08/2013 10:23:54 a.m. Blocked by port blocking rule C:Program Files (x86)Python26python.exe Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail 74.125.25.108:25



I disabled McAfee completely and it worked fine after that.



Thanks

  • What OS are you using. Maybe you need to open firewall or router ports.

    I think I found it. I tried disabling McAfee, but it still logs it in the log file 23/08/2013 10:23:54 a.m. Blocked by port blocking rule C:Program Files (x86)Python26python.exe Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail 74.125.25.108:25.

  • McAfee's warning comes from a good thought, be careful writing code like this :)
