thank Peter, elbert, for the suggestions. I hadn't thought of using
telnet to try to connect to the SMTP server. and when I do try, telnet
can't connect either, at least on port 25. On port 110, it has no
problem. So, perhaps the IT people have made some configuration
changes; I'll have a chat with them. I'm relieved that it's not a
Python problem, though.
We had similar issues when our systems were upgraded to McAfee VirusScan
8.0. If you're running that locally (on the system trying to connect to
the SMTP server), try disabling the rule in the Access Control dialog
that's labeled 'Prevent mass mailing worms from sending email'
How do such tools still allow the sending of valid emails?
