Hi,
I am learning how to use the smtplib module, but am having some very
early problems, maybe because I don't understand it.
So, am I correct that by following the example in the Python:

When I try to create the server(the line 'server =
smtplib.SMTP('localhost')) I get the following error message:

error: (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')
Anyone got a pointer as to what I could do?
Try turning off your XP firewall . If this doesn't help, try this from a command prompt
c:\> telnet localhost 25 (return)
you should get some response from your server beginning with "220", if not then Python isn't the problem.
in the telnet session, type "quit " + return to end the session.
HTH :)
