There are some DNS bits floating around. You might want to try googling for
"DNS ~g comp.lang.python".
If you're on a Unix-oid system and you're really in a hurry, why not just
use os.popen:
import os
f = os.popen("host -t mx mojam.com")
for line in f:
if line.find("mail is handled by") != -1:
print "mx:", line.rstrip().split()[-1]
