hi,
I'm a beginner in using Python script
I'm trying to send mails using multi-thread
I wrote



FROM = 'ganeshxxxx at xxxx.com'
# for more mail add';' the another mail id
listTo = ['g.xxx at gmail.com', 'xxjango.py at gmail.com',
'xxxxx at yahoo.co.in']
SUBJECT = 'This is the subject'
MSGBODY = 'This the body of the message '
MAILSERVER = 'mail.xxxx.com'
port = 25
username = 'xxxxx'
password = 'xxxxx'

# trim the strings of any leading or trailing spaces
FROM = FROM.strip()
SUBJECT = SUBJECT.strip()
MSGBODY = MSGBODY.strip()
MAILSERVER = MAILSERVER.strip()
username = username.strip()
password = password.strip()



#Connect to server
print 'Connecting to mail server ', MAILSERVER
try:
	s = smtplib.SMTP(MAILSERVER,port)
	print 'connected'
#s.set_debuglevel(1)
except:
	 print 'ERROR: Unable to connect to mail server', sys.exc_info	()[0]
	 sys.exit(1)

#login to server
if password <> '':
	print 'Logging into mail server'
try:
	s.login(username,password)
except:
	print 'ERROR: Unable to login to mail server', MAILSERVER
	print 'Please recheck your password'
	sys.exit(1)

#--------------------------------------------------
print "Starting Multi Thread Method"


class MyThread(Thread):

    def __init__(self, site, s, FROM, MSGBODY):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.site = site
	self.s=s
	self.FROM=FROM
	self.MSGBODY=MSGBODY

    def run(self):
	print "running for %s " %self.site
	s.sendmail(self.FROM, self.site, self.MSGBODY)
	print "Emailed for  site %s" %self.site



a= time.time()
threads = []

for site in listTo:
    T = MyThread(site,s,FROM,MSGBODY)
    threads.append(T)
    T.start()


for i in threads:
    i.join()
s.quit()
s.close()
print "Took %s seconds" %str(time.time()-a)

#-----------------------------------------------------

Error:
There is no problem with mail ids
I'm using python2.5 ,Ubuntu
I got an error like

If someone could point out the (probably silly)
mistake I'm making , I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
