	I suspect you don't want the "server" per se -- that's more a unit for
receiving SMTP mail (sure, you can start it, but then you have to send the
email to IT so it can relay it to the next server in the line).

	Look into the smtplib module (section 20.12 in the v2.7.2
documentation) in order to send email TO a mail server
