(This is similar to http://bugs.python.org/issue10274)
The smtplib module should provide a means to validate a remote server ssl certificate(s). 

It would be 'nice' if smtplib.SMTP_SSL & smtplib.starttls took in arguments to validate the remote SMTP's ssl certificate has been signed by a trusted certificate authority(and the common name matches what it should etc.).
