Unfortunately, the intermingling of code and mystery output makes it
very difficult to tell what is happening anywhere...

Like where is that being output? After all, you are calling
my_mail() two lines further up...
> 33 to_address = ourEmail1,
And now we have line numbers coming from somewhere else -- but no
complete code to compare against.

Normal advice is to trim your program down to the absolute minimum
that reproduces your problem, and post that, with a traceback if such is
produced...
Snippets of code interspersed by out-of-sync debug print statements
(no where in the above is ANY statement producing the displayed output
seen).
Second approach... Get a copy of the SMTP RFCs, open a command
console (NOT PYTHON)
telnet localhost 25
and try to follow the RFCs to handshake and form a message... See if the
SMTPd disconnects on you. If you can't create/send a message via telnet,
nothing you do in Python is going to help. And note that the message
indicates that it is the SMTPd that is dropping you...
