Then your problem is a networking problem.  I know even less about
networking than I know about Python.  Can you ping the destination?
Perhaps tracepath or traceroute will help you find where your
messages are being refused.  Perhaps you are trying to work through
an internet access provider (e.g., ISP) that doesn't allow direct
connections to remote mail servers.

If I might add a grouchy comment, you really should learn a
little about netiquette.  When you don't bother to trim the
quoted context or even to punctuate your text, you broadcast
a conspicuous implication that you value your own time much
more than you value the time of the people whose help you're
soliciting, which is incongruous and insulting.  A more
carefully presented request might have gotten a response
from someone more knowledgeable -- and less grouchy -- than
me.
