All smtplib debug output is produced using print statements to standard 
ouput, so you could try creating a "file-like" object (such as a 
cStringIO) and temporarily replacing sys.stdout with it (saving 
sys.sdout and replacing it if other parts of your program need to use it).

If you need help to work out the details, post again.
