Me, either offhand.  Is it possible your script is getting executed twice
for some readon?  You didn't give us the HTML from the calling page.

You might try creating a log file.  I find that to be a good way to debug
my CGI scripts:

def Log(msg):
  f = open('/tmp/log','a')
  # Might want to prepend date/time.
  f.write(msg)
  f.close()

Log( "I got here" )
...
Log( "Recipient is %s" % to_address )
