Summary: Connect fails for SMTP host in blast_mail

Initial Comment:
Perhaps due to some Linux mail system anomaly, but 
certainly worth trapping, syncmail will not use the 
localhost directive automatically if a null hostname is 
passed to the SMTP connect method of smtplib e.g.

connect(MAILHOST, MAILPORT)....


So, in the syncmail script, one has to initialize 
MAILHOST explicitly even though localhost is supposed 
to be the default.  The host nullness cannot be 
addressed in smtplib, it is better addressed in the 
syncmail script.
