problem with sending email

[Haris Lekatsas]

This works thanks!

Unfortunately it makes my scripts less portable as the path to
sendmail has to be specified (not always at /usr/sbin/sendmail)
but this seems to be the only solution I have so far.
I wonder if python's smtplib is broken.

Thanks again
