Merge: #5713: Handle 421 error codes during sendmail by closing the socket.

This is a partial fix to the issue of servers disconnecting unexpectedly; in
this case the 421 says they are disconnecting, so we close the socket and
return the 421 in the appropriate error context.

Original patch by Mark Sapiro, updated by Kushal Das, with additional
tests by me.
