I want to send email from a Zope Python Product, but my outgoing mail server requires authentication, and the version of python Zope is running on (2.1.3) does not support authentication in its smtplib.py module. I tried applying a patch I found on sourceforge, but it did not seem to work - perhapse it was not a patch for the right version of Python, or perhapse I am not using it correctly. Does anyone have step by step instructions for updating Python 2.1.3 to allow authenticated SMTP login?

There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
