The latter isn't a hostname, it's a hostname (mail.<ispname>.net) padded with user information for SMTP-Auth, which shouldn't be written in this format anyway. Probably your Provider only supports SMTPs or the like (which doesn't use the default port 25, check for that. Otherwise: if connections are still refused, does your provider really want you to use this mailserver? Or are they providing some other relay? I know most ISPs I know and work with use smtp.<ispname> for their outgoing client-relay. --- Heiko. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
