[issue11959] smtpd cannot be used without affecting global state

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

But it is create_socket you want to change.  So if we add a map argument to that and only pass it to socket if it is non-None, wouldn't that maintain backward compatibility with current asyncore behavior?  Neither asyncore nor asynchat calls create_socket, as far as I can see.
