That is because you changed TO in [TO]. That causes the error.

** And the \n at the beginning shouldn't be there. **

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n" % ( FROM, TO, SUBJECT ) + MESSAGE + "\r\n"

You could even change that to:

MESSAGE = "From: %s\r\n" + "To: %s\r\n" + "Subject: %s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" % (FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE)

which I think is nicer.
