First of all, hats of on logging module in python 2.3. Very elegant...

I have 2 questions regarding Handler class in logging:

SocketHandler: Can I send plain string instead of pickle binary. This will allow me to send a TCP log message to program written in other programming lang.
SMTPHandler: Is there any way to send an email where server requires authentication through logconfig.ini file. I send an email message to myself through logging and SMTPHandler and it works perfect, but if I want to send an email to external email address, I can't do it because replying is not allow. I can do it this in a python program by using ehlo and docmd of smtplib object, but how can I do same thing in loggers' config.ini file.

Thanks in advance
