I also can't get my SMTP (win2k) working with Python. But... funnily this works fine:
import smtplib s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.ru') s.sendmail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'hi there!') s.quit() Why do they (mail.ru) allow outsiders to use their service??? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
