It sounds like you were unable to connect to the mail server.  That
could be due to a large number of network issues and is probably not a
Python bug.

from a terminal/cmd window try
	telnet smtpserver 25
That will connect to the smtpserver on the proper port (and works for
most operating systems).  I expect that to fail.  Your Python code will
not work until you can actually make a connection.


Here's what I get trying to reach a non-existent smtpserver:

telnet 10.10.10.10 25
Trying 10.10.10.10...
telnet: connect to address 10.10.10.10: Connection timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
