This issue is not about getting test_logging to work in a particular way;
test_logging is exercising SMTPHandler and (AFAIK) tidying up after itself,
with no sockets left open.
When working on the test, I just noticed that smtpd forces use of the global
socket map, which is not ideal ("The fact that asyncore uses a global socket
map is surely unfortunate" - Giampaolo). Given that asyncore's design allows
for a socket map to be passed in (at least in part - RDM's comment), ISTM that
it should support this consistently, and also that smtpd should support this
mode of use.
