just some thought from a quick look.

should your “from” address be an actual email address?

I dont see any username and password info for your smtp service.

You can get this error when you specify an attachment name that does not have a file type extension after it. Since you are trying to send it as a pdf then try appending .pdf to the attachment name and see if that works.
