[Cvs-syncmail] Too early SMPT conn w/ false timeout on strict SMPT relays

[Serguei M. <se...@cs...>]

Hello,

[Please CC to me your replies as I am not subscribed]

I have encountered a situation when the SMTP relay has the connection
timeout set to 2 minutes, which sometimes caused a timeout problem with
syncmail because of a long commit message (long as in long-to-type). This
was happening because syncmail used to make an SMTP connection before any
message is actually prepared, and if it takes the user to type it long
enough, it'll time out. So, the attached patch fixes the problem by moving
the connection establishing down the code after the message is actually
ready.

I also udated the comments on top to explicitly mention the requirement
for Python 2.2.2 rather than 2.2 because fromataddr appeared only in
2.2.2.

Thanks.
