Try using something like this.

def send(serverURL, sender, to, subject, text):
    """
    Form and send an e-mail message
    """
    
    import smtplib
    
    headers = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n" % (sender, to, subject)
    message = headers + text
    mailServer = smtplib.SMTP(serverURL) # replace serverURL with site specific mail server
    mailServer.sendmail(sender, to, message)
    mailServer.quit()
