eMail from Python3 using 1and1 Ionos account

I want to generate an email from within Python3 code. I can get it to work using a gmail account but not with my 1and1 Ionos account. This is the code

import smtplib

MAIL_2 = ['[email protected]']
FROM_ADDR = '[email protected]'
SUBJECT = 'Mail Subject via Ionos`'
BODY = 'Body of message'
PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
SMTP_SERVER = "smtp.ionos.co.uk:587"
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.login(FROM_ADDR, PASSWORD)
header = 'To:' + ", ".MAIL_2 + '\n' + 'From: ' + FROM_ADDR + '\n' + 'Subject: ' + SUBJECT + '\n'
mmsg = header + '\n' + SUBJECT + '\n' + BODY + '\n\n'
smtpserver.sendmail(FROM_ADDR, MAIL_2,mmsg)
smtpserver.close()

The error message is

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testmail-ionos01.py", line 14, in <module>
    smtpserver.starttls()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/smtplib.py", line 783, in starttls
    self.sock = context.wrap_socket(self.sock,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/ssl.py", line 500, in wrap_socket
    return self.sslsocket_class._create(
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/ssl.py", line 1040, in _create
    self.do_handshake()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/ssl.py", line 1309, in do_handshake
    self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLError: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER] sslv3 alert illegal parameter (_ssl.c:1131)

How can I get it to work?

Try the below code, it worked with me, you need to put the address of ionos server where you host your domain with, in my case it is Spain:

#send email
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
server  = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.ionos.es', 587)
try:
    name="Name" #You need to fill the name here
    server.connect('smtp.ionos.es', 587)
    server.starttls()
    server.ehlo()
    server.login("Youremailhostedonionos","password")
    TOADDR   = "[email protected]"
    FromADDR = "Youremailhostedonionos"
    msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
    msg['Subject'] = "email subject here"
    msg['From'] = FromADDR
    msg['To']      = TOADDR
    #The below is email body
    html = """\
                <html>
                  <body>
                    <p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Dear {0},</span></p>
                   <p>
                      your email body
                    </p>
                    <p>Kind Regards,<br />
                    Your name ....
                    </p>
                    </body>
                </html>
                """.format(name.split()[0])
    msg.attach(MIMEText(html, 'html'))
    server.sendmail(FromADDR, TOADDR, msg.as_string())
except Exception as e:
    # Print any error messages to stdout
    print(e)
finally:
    server.quit()
