Use the source, Luke.  You have the full source code for the smtplib.py
module at your disposal; the answer lies within:

C:\WINDOWS>python
Python 2.0 (#8, Oct 16 2000, 17:27:58) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import smtplib
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP()
>>> print s.connect('mail.probo.com')
(220, 'probo.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3; Sun, 11 Feb 2001 22:21:44
-0800')
>>>
