 You are making the common mistake of thinking that the header recipients
are the same as the SMTP-envelope recipients,   in reality they do not have
to bear any similarity or relationship :)

You need a single list containing *all* the recipients by email address,
and strings containing the text representations of the header From, To and
Cc fields.



-----------------------------
HOST = '127.0.0.1'
SENDER = "you at mydom1.com"
RECIPS =  ["joe at mydom2.com","support at mydom3.com","sales at mydom4.com"]
FROM = '  "you at mydom1.com" <you at mydom1.com> '
TO = " none at mydomain.local "
CC = " Uknown recipients "

 def send_email(HOST,SENDER, RECIPIENTS, FROM,TO,SUBJECT ,BODY,CC=None):
    import smtplib
   import string, sys
   body = string.join((
   "From: %s" % FROM,
   "To: %s" % TO,
   "Subject: %s" % SUBJECT,
   "CC: %s" % CC,
   "",
   BODY), "\r\n")

   server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
   server.sendmail(SENDER, RECIPIENTS,body)
   server.quit()

HTH :)
