add the line

writer.addheader("From", a_sender_address)

and you should also have

writer.addheader("To", some_recipient_address(es)_as_a_string)

The smtp sender & recipients do not relate to the sender & recipients
in the email itself,  Often they are the same, but they don't have to
be.

HTH :)
