Hello Denis and thanks for dropping into the conversation.

here is the code again with the random function definition:

# 
=================================================================================================================
# if html form is submitted then send user mail
# 
=================================================================================================================
def random_char( y, chars=string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits ):
	return ''.join( random.choice(chars) for x in range(y) )


for times in range(0, 10):
	try:
		# prepare mail data
		FROM = random_char(8) + '@' + random_char(5) + '.com'
		TO = "nkouras at ath.forthnet.gr"
			
		SUBJECT = random_char( 50 )
		MESSAGE = random_char( 500 )
		
		os.system( "echo %s | mailx -v -r %s -s %s %s" % (MESSAGE, FROM, 
SUBJECT, TO) )

		print( "<h2><font color=blue>%sη αποστολή προς %s 
επετεύχθη!</font></h2>" % (times, TO) )
	except Exception as e:
		print( "sendmail => ", date, repr( sys.exc_info() ) )

sys.exit(0)
=================================================================


i have sent 10 mails to my personal Google account and i though they 
were never get delivered but it seems that every half an hour or so, 
one-by-one come into appearance into my GMail account which i access via 
Thunderbird!

I don't know whats delaying them so long but they do come.

What i want now is to be able to alter the hostname of my server so the 
mails wont indicate that they derive from superhost.gr as they aare now 
sen in the mail headers.

I will show you an example when one more mail arrive into my gmail account.
