Steve, Andrew, Josiah,

Thanks for your answers.

The outgoing SMTP is multi-threaded,   so the threads disrupt each other's
output to the file-like object  if there is any concurrent outgoing mail
activity.

Is there anyway I can seperate the output from each thread and capture it ?

The outgoing threads are started  with

thread.start_new_thread(outThread,(args,None))

One thread per out-going message.  Each handles the outgoing message sending
and error-handling for the message.   I can't talk back to the calling
thread/class because it is the incoming SMTP part and it is destroyed when
the remote client connection is dropped.  (The SMTP server is a filtering
relay)

TIA
