I'm the system administrator but haven't really checked the config since i 
didn't know this type of email sending was considered relaying.

Yep we're using Outlook

I actually need this to send out an email to all our customers with greetings
for the holidays. Last year they manually sent out batches and i said Python
probably would make it easy to send the emails around.
Should have shut up, hehe :)

So my best bet is to allow relaying for the period of the test and then 
disallow it again?
