It seems that while using this set of commands
from smtplib import SMTP
s = SMTP()
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.connect('outmail.huji.ac.il')
I should be able to get a connection but what I get is this error
T:\Anya\work>mail1.py
connect: ('outmail.huji.ac.il', 25)
connect: (' outmail.huji.ac.il', 25)
connect fail: (' outmail.huji.ac.il', 25)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does any one have a clue ?

Suspect a local / network firewall or port block. It might possibly be a DNS issue, the server's IP address is 132.64.1.30 . You should try telnetting to the IP address on port 25 as a test

The problem isn't python. Your pc(?) is not able to connect to this mail server. If you have a firewall, turn it off very briefly while you retry the telnet test. If this doesn't help, then you will need to contact your network provider (eg: your IT dept, or your home ISP) and ask them if they are blocking port 25 outbound. Until you get telnet to work, your python will not work either.
HTH :)
