You might try downloading Python 1.5.2 just to borrow the smtplib.py
module and see if it works with 1.5.  (You could even try a version
from a more recent Python to pick up any later enhancements, but using
the 1.5.2 version is probably the most likely to be compatible).

The comments in the module indicate that it was originally modified
from the HTTP lib module in Python 1.5 so you're probably right that
1.5 itself didn't have smtplib ( I think it was first added in 1.5.1)
