Hi Ali

I can never remember to change my reply address from person to the 
list.  The code I sent to you instead of the list was:

import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP('myrelayhost')
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail("from at example.com", "myfriend at mydestination.net", 
"Subject:test email\n\n  test")
server.quit()


For myrelayhost, you need to supply the hostname or IP address of an 
email SMTP server that will allow you to send.  Being a Yahoo user you 
might not use this normally, but the SMTP server (relay host) you need 
to use is the one made available by the ISP/University/School/etc where 
you are connected.  Ask your network administrator what to use.
