[Tutor] confusing smtp problem

[nephish]

ok this is what i get when i use host = '10.10.10.04 25'
resourse unavailable
  line = self.sock.recv(size,socket.MSG_PEEK)

now if i use host = '10.10.10.04:25' it has all the appearences of
having worked, but the email never gets to its destination.

hmmmmmmmm.

i tried it the first way because that is what let me connect and
do the helo thing via telnet.
