[Python] dynamically finding SMTP Server using Email Address

I am trying to make a Python function to find SMTP host and port of an Email address

import dns.resolver

def get_smtp_host(email):
try:
# Extract the domain from the email address
domain = email.split('@')[1]

# Query the MX records for the domain
mx_records = dns.resolver.resolve(domain, 'MX')

# Sort the MX records by priority (lower number means higher priority)
sorted_mx_records = sorted(mx_records, key=lambda x: x.preference)

# Get the highest priority MX record
highest_priority_mx = sorted_mx_records[0].exchange.to_text()

# Return the SMTP host
return highest_priority_mx
except Exception as e:
return f"Error: {e}"

# Example usage
email = "abcp@gmail.com"
smtp_host = get_smtp_host(email)
print(smtp_host)


I am getting output of the MX record. Cannot find a way to get SMTP host and port.
