     s.send_message(msg)
     s.quit()

The last lines of s.set_debuglevel are
reply: retcode (250); Msg: b'2.0.0 Ok: queued as B57B42C042F'
data: (250, b'2.0.0 Ok: queued as B57B42C042F')
send: 'quit\r\n'
reply: b'221 2.0.0 Bye\r\n'
reply: retcode (221); Msg: b'2.0.0 Bye'

The SMTP part of the system is working (hence this message).
The message from machine B correctly interprets "sysname" as
sysn...@sysname.. i.e a valid addr4ess.

Where do I look now, please?


That's machine B, but the issue is with machine H.
Have you compared the contents of the two machines' /var/log/maillog?

Thanks for reminding me of the  log files. I've worked out that the 
message on machine H (for haydn, which shows my preferred music genre) 
was bouncing because haydn.. was not a registered subdomain with 
my ISP, whereas bach.. was registered. Sorted now.

Hi, I'm thinking about learning Python but I'm 74 years old and will
very likely not ever have a programming job again. 
At 83, I have no intention of having a programming job again! I last 
coded something professionally 45 years ago, but it hasn't lost its 
attraction.

So, what do you folks use Python for?

I have several scripts to help with activities for the charity that 
keeps me occupied. I've written a shopping list script with 
auto-completion and a couple of web-scraping applications that support a 
weather reporting application interfacing with various 1Wire sensors 
transcribed from an initial Ruby application. My largest GUI application 
is a database of personal contacts with input and output of data via 
vCards and .csv files (with a lot of mentoring from an American Gtk user!)
I find this a fascinating news group - shame there's been no updates to 
Friday Finking recently!
