You need to do a DNS MX lookup. There's nothing in the Python stdlib which provides this functionality. There are several libraries available which do this, though (Twisted among them ;). You can probably find them with a little googling. Beyond that, the rules for processing MX records are simple and it's not much work to pick the right host once you can do the MX lookups.
