The Emailoutputter starts an SMTP connection on
initialisation of the object. This can lead to SMTP
timeouts when trying to use the connection later on.
It would be better if the SMTP connection is set up
when needed. I fixed this bug in the Debian package
using the attached patch, I hope it can be used upstream.
