Checking the source for smtplib.py, you must pass a port to
smtplib.SMTP() if you pass a host, as it defaults to 0.

Also, s.connect() is redundant if you created the smtplib.SMTP instance
with a host...

Basically, try this:

        s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 25)
        s.set_debuglevel(1)
        s.login('bossierbossman', 'mypassword')
        s.sendmail('bossierbossman at yahoo.com', [to], msg)
        s.quit()
        s.close()

I believe that should work.
