This is an error from your smtp server; perhaps you have to log in
first.  Perhaps the server is bound to another IP and accepts only
connections from that IP.  Perhaps you use some kind of filter (e.g.
firewall).  That doesn't seem to be a problem of Python.

Can you connect with telnet to your smtp server?  Does its log file
help?
