That was my mistake, sorry.

mlist.moderator is already a list so [mlist.moderator] is a list of lists.

You have to import it. You also need to import smtplib. If you do
import smtplib
then you can do
try:
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
...
except smtplib.SMTPException:
...
Or if you also do
from smtplib import SMTPException
you can write the except clause as
except SMTPException:
There is no magic by which Python knows the names of things other than
builtins (see sections 2 - 6 at
<https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/index.html>). You have to import
them or define them.
