errors while trying to send email

[Ronald Kijewski]

I've seen another bug submission similar to this.  I am using 2.3.4 and I get almost the exact same error.  I'm on a linux box (2.6.9-5.ELsmp) and the same code runs fine on other machines and previous versions of python - here's the code snippet:

msg = MIMEMultipart()
COMMASPACE = ', '
msg['Subject'] = 'NO Build (' + tstr + ')'
msg['From'] = 'rkijewski at swri.org'
msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(buildmgrs)
msg['To'] = buildlead
msg.preamble = 'Build Results'
msg.epilogue = ''

mailsrv = smtplib.SMTP('server')
mailsrv.sendmail(buildlead, buildlead, msg.as_string())
time.sleep(5)
mailsrv.close()
################################################

Here's the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./testMail.py", line 60, in ?
    mailsrv.sendmail(buildlead, buildlead, msg.as_string(unixfrom=True))
