Sending mail using python is getting an error

Question

I'm using python and SMTP to send mail

I'm Getting Error in it

My code is

import smtplib

smtp_server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
smtp_server.ehlo()
smtp_server.starttls()
smtp_server.login('[email protected]', '587')

smtp_server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'Subject: Happy Australia Day!\nHi Everyone! Happy  Day! Cheers, Julian')

smtp_server.quit()
print('Email sent successfully')

and Errors are

error: [Error 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

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

Thanks in advance.

Probably firewall is blocking the connection, please check your settings. — mcjay

Please run in terminal telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 and add the output here. — Nihal Sangeeth

your firewall blocks the connection. once remove the script would work.
