ssl_socket = ssl.wrap_socket(new_sock
New submission from Joe Shaw :
Start a non-SSL server on port 2525:
$ python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:2525
In another terminal, fire up a python interpreter and run the following code:
>>> import smtplib
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("localhost", 2525)
