[Tutor] error reporting disreputable

[kirk Bailey]

ok, I included code to report errors to the postmaster. Lookee:
 try:
                server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, msg)        # 400
send envlope and msg!
        except Exception, e:
                from_addr2="TLpost.py@"+domainname
                to_addr2="postmaster@"+domainname
                msg2="To: "+to_addr2+CRLF  
                msg2=msg2+"From: "+from_addr2+CRLF
                msg2=msg2+"Subject: ERROR REPORT for
list"+listname+CRLF+CRLF
                msg2=msg2+"There was an error when serving list
"+listname+"."+CRLF
                msg2=msg2+"The returned error was:"+CRLF
                msg2=msg2+e+CRLF
                print "POSSIBLE Bad address='"+to_addr+"' ?" # local
console display!
                server.sendmail(from_addr2, to_addr2, msg2)  # send
postmaster notice!

I do NOT get a letter at the postmaster address. I DO get this back to
the SENDER'S address, and it's NOT the message I coded!!! WTF?!?
