So it's a restriction of Python?
What I am trying to simulate here is the sending of mail to addresses
solely in the CC and/or BCC fields - both of which are possible through

Python will quite happily do this too.
The RFC issue is a red herring, in practice there are very few SMTP servers that will refuse an email that is missing 1 or more of the required headers. Whether the email passes spam filters is a different matter.
For fun, try this. (add your own gmail address, or other address and mail server)
>>> import smtplib
>>> server = smtplib.SMTP('gsmtp163.google.com ')
>>> server.sendmail('','addr [EMAIL PROTECTED]','hello') # '' = 2x ' not 1x "
and this is the email that appeared in my gmail account almost instantly. :):) It was sent with no SMTP-FROM address, and has no subject field and no address fields.
