Obviously I don't really know how this works. I have used python to send
email using "my" smtp server (whatever that may be gmail, postfix..)
But I don't want to do that. After a little more research I think what I
need to do is lookup the MX address of the address I want to send the email
too.
Then submit the email to that address using smtplib.SMTP
Do I have that right?
