'''SMTP/ESMTP client class.
This should follow RFC 821 (SMTP), RFC 1869 (ESMTP), RFC 2554 (SMTP
Authentication) and RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP over TLS).
Notes:
Please remember, when doing ESMTP, that the names of the SMTP service
extensions are NOT the same thing as the option keywords for the RCPT
and MAIL commands!
Example:
>>> import smtplib
>>> s=smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> print s.help()
This is Sendmail version 8.8.4
Topics:
HELO EHLO MAIL RCPT DATA
RSET NOOP QUIT HELP VRFY
EXPN VERB ETRN DSN
For more info use "HELP <topic>".
To report bugs in the implementation send email to
sendmail-bugs@sendmail.org.
For local information send email to Postmaster at your site.
End of HELP info
>>> s.putcmd("vrfy","someone@here")
>>> s.getreply()
(250, "Somebody OverHere <somebody@here.my.org>")
>>> s.quit()

Returns a tuple consisting of:
- server response code (e.g. '250', or such, if all goes well)
Note: returns -1 if it can't read response code.
- server response string corresponding to response code (multiline
responses are converted to a single, multiline string).
Raises SMTPServerDisconnected if end-of-file is reached.

550. If all addresses are accepted, then the method will return an
empty dictionary.
