One might think so. Unfortunately the python SSL documentation is sourly
lacking. However, I have tried this patch by first trying SSLv2 (which
my mail server refuses) and then trying SSLv3 as fallback (which my
server allows) and the code as in that patch worked just fine.

This is certainly no proof that it will work with all servers and all
versions of openssl, but it does work here.
