Obviously I don't really know how this works. I have u= sed python to send email using "my" smtp server (whatever that ma= y be gmail, postfix..)
But I don't want to do that. After a little m= ore research I think what I need to do is lookup the MX address of the addr= ess I want to send the email too.
Then submit the email to that address using smtplib.SMTP =C2=A0
=E2=80=8BDo I have that right?

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 I suspect you don't want the "server" per se -- that&#= 39;s more a unit for
receiving SMTP mail (sure, you can start it, but then you have to send the<= br> email to IT so it can relay it to the next server in the line).

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Look into the smtplib module (section 20.12 in = the v2.7.2
documentation) in order to send email TO a mail server
