Tryign to send mail via a python script by using the local MTA

[Joost Molenaar]

Since the From address is random, it most likely doesn't exist, which
could be reason for Google's smtp server to reject the message or to
deliver it to spam.

Also, the reverse DNS for 84.200.17.58 does not resolve to
secure.superhost.gr, which could also be reason to reject the message.
