email merge linux

Post by tmort »

I am running open office 2.3 on Fedora 7. I just installed email merge yesterday and attempted to do a merge to six recipients. It started to send the emails but I got an error message:

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: SMTP instance has no attribute 'sock', traceback follows
File "/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/mailmerge.py", line 188, in sendMailMessage
self.server.sendmail(sender, truerecipients, msg.as_string())
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 668, in sendmail
if not (200 <= self.ehlo()[0] <= 299):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 397, in ehlo
self.putcmd("ehlo", name or self.local_hostname)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 333, in putcmd
self.send(str)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 318, in send
if self.sock:


Could someone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance

Just a wild guess... Your sendmail or postfix application is not configured, and it is not choosing your mail client, be it kmail or evolution or thunderbird or whichever, as a mail agent (which would make a certain amount of sense). Is the mailmerge you are using a different thing than the mailmerge thing that comes bundled with OOo2.3? You might be able to configure that to use your regular email smtp server, and so end-run the local mailserver errors.

What Linux version are you using?

PS Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I must have missed your message last year.
