Thanks for all the information. Very helpful. But I'm still a little confused, because it seems like that's not enough information. If all I put in is, for example, smtp.gmail.com, how is that directed to my own email address? Do I still need to include other, more specific (i.e. personal) information elsewhere? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
