Probably not. But it wouldn't be too difficult to backport it to Python 2.1
yourself. As far as I can see, you will need the hmac module from Python 2.2
and adapt my smtplib.py by deleting some code that uses socket features only
available in Python 2.2.

It might, however, prove easier to just put the AUTH related changes into a
Python 2.1 smtplib instead. I personally have no need for Python 2.1
compatibility, but you are free to scratch your own itch <wink>.
