Then your problem is a networking problem. I know even less about networking than I know about Python. Can you ping the destination? Perhaps tracepath or traceroute will help you find where your messages are being refused. Perhaps you are trying to work through an internet access provider (e.g., ISP) that doesn't allow direct connections to remote mail servers. If I might add a grouchy comment, you really should learn a little about netiquette. When you don't bother to trim the quoted context or even to punctuate your text, you broadcast a conspicuous implication that you value your own time much more than you value the time of the people whose help you're soliciting, which is incongruous and insulting. A more carefully presented request might have gotten a response from someone more knowledgeable -- and less grouchy -- than me. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
