problems with smtplib

[Jon Hewer]

just got home and i've tried my script on windows with my isp's smtp
server, and found that my code wasn't getting past the s.connect()

changed me code to:

    s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.lineone.net')
    s.sendmail(me, to, msg.as_string())
    s.quit()

and now it works fine
