Ewald,

 First off, thanks for stopping by.

>The connection via the smtplib.SMTP() could be established.

 I dont think so. I think it fails before the login().

------------------------------------------------------
>>> ex= smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.yahoo.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/smtplib.py", line 241, in __init__
    (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/smtplib.py", line 289, in connect
    for res in socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, socket.SOCK_STREAM):
socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

------------------------------------------------
 >>> socket.gethostname()
'linux'
---------------------------------------------

>>> socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
>>>
-------------------------------------------------- 

linux:/srv/www/htdocs/konnect # nslookup smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Server:         203.145.184.13
Address:        203.145.184.13#53

Non-authoritative answer:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com     canonical name = smtp.plus.mail.yahoo.com.
smtp.plus.mail.yahoo.com        canonical name = smtp.plus.mail.yahoo4.akadns.net .
Name:   smtp.plus.mail.yahoo4.akadns.net
Address: 216.136.173.18
