[Pythonmac-SIG] SMTP from a Mac

[Tasselli Marco]

Hi,

I've seen that in the 1.5.1 distribution of Python for the Mac, both the
rfc822 and the smtp libs are present.

I tried a test script for simple mail sending from a Mac but invariably get
the message "socket: host not found" as a result of the command:
server = smtplib.SMTP('myhost').

is there any problem using smtp functionality from a mac?

regards
