[issue11959] smtpd cannot be used without affecting global state

[Giampaolo Rodola']

The fact that you need to keep two separate maps makes me think that the approach you have in mind might be wrong, as in - that's something you usually don't want to do -. The fact that asyncore uses a global socket map is surely unfortunate, but it's something you rarely want to deal with, therefore changing the __init__ notation of those classes is debatable at least.
What are you trying to achieve exactly?
