Actually I used alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com for a server I don't
need authentication. The problem is that for some mail addresses I can
send mail's while for other's I can't . I don't know how to explained
that.....

the code bellow worked fine to me :

import smtplib

fromaddr = 'nicolasg at gmail.com'
toaddrs  = 'nicolasg at gmail.com'
subject = 'someting for subject !'

msg = 'This is body of the mail.'

msg = 'From: ' + fromaddr + '\nTo: ' + toaddrs + '\nSubject: ' +
subject + '\n\n' + msg
print "Message length is " + repr(len(msg))

server = smtplib.SMTP('alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com')
#'smtp.gmail.com')
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()

cheers.
