java.net.SocketExceptio

Hi,

I am trying to send an e- mail using jython...

I have tried the following code

import smtplib
srv=smtplib.SMTP(localhost)

and it gives this error,

java.net.SocketException: java.net.SocketException: Software caused 
connection a
bort: connect

I have also tried connecting to the server by using smtpd.SMTPServer, It 
says smtpd.SMTPServer listening to..., but fails to get connected and gives 
a socket error

Could someone tell me the source of this exception
