	Since you specified "localhost", that implies you have an SMTPd
running on your own machine. Since you didn't get an exception, that
SMTPd accepted the message.

	You now need to find out what that SMTPd did with the message... Is
it configured to relay to the mail server for "inqvista.com"?

	This is outside the domain of Python.
