Hi,

As Steve suggested, I run my script in debug mode, but don't find anything
unusual(the mail still doesn't get to the destination). I attach the dubug
log below, and please point out the trouble spot:

OK, I marked the trouble spot, did you find it? :-)

The major problem seems to be that your body is not RFC822-compliant. Try
putting a few headers in there, followed by a blank line and some text. The
interactions between the client and the server look fine.

regards
 STeve
