The problem isn't with the python usage, but basic SMTP checking to prevent
spamming and such.

It's indicating that it thinks the 'From:' address, <no-reply at jss.hs.org>
is bogus.

There's no MX record for jss.hs.org, and no IP address for jss.hs.org
either.

The From: address should be legitimate and deliverable.  It might
also accept a legitimate 'Reply-To:' address.

A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only
exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of
the public treasury.  From the moment on the majority always votes for the
candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the
result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always
to be followed by a Dictatorship.
