Djoumy, do you have the WinXP firewall turned on? If so, maybe this is 
whats causing your "Connection Refused". But you said this works when 
done with IDLE on the same XP machine. Just a shot in the dark.

I'm not sure what you mean in your "P.S." statement. I'm not sure how 
"tutor at python.org" has thier mail server setup either. You didn't say 
what kind of email client that your using either?

HTH's,
