[Zope] SMTP_AUTH

[whysean at softhome.net]

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?
