Without this reset, starttls would fail if a connect/starttls was done after a
quit, because smtplib assumed the existing value of emspt_features was
accurate, but it gets reset when starttls completes (and the new value does
not contain the starttls capability, since tls is already started at that
point). (There may be additional places where this lack of reset was an
issue as well.)
Patch by Milan Oberkirch.
This was already done in Python3, but having it wrong leads to
incorrect debug output, so it seems worth fixing in 2.7 as well.
Patch by Victor Terrón.
The RFC doesn't say that they are allowed; apparently many mailers accept
them, but not postfix. Contributions to this patch were made by Felipe Cruz
and Catalin Iacob.
all the upper level libraries that use it, including urllib2.
Added and fixed some tests, and changed docs correspondingly.
Thanks to John J Lee for the patch and the pusing, :)
- Factor out the duplication of EHLO/HELO in login() and sendmail() to
a new function, ehlo_or_helo_if_needed().
- Use ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() in starttls()
- Check for the starttls exception in starttls() in the same way as
login() checks for the auth extension.

* Much expanded test suite:
All protocols tested against all other protocols.
All protocols tested with all certificate options.
Tests for bad key and bad cert.
Test of STARTTLS functionality.
Test of RAND_* functions.
* Fixes for threading/malloc bug.
* Issue 1065 fixed:
sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket.
sslerror class renamed to SSLError.
Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket.
* Issue 1583946 finally fixed:
Support for subjectAltName added.
Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs.
* SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror".
* RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py.
* Documentation improved:
Example of how to create a self-signed certificate.
Better indexing.
1) Improve the documentation of the SSL module, with a fuller
explanation of certificate usage, another reference, proper
formatting of this and that.
2) Fix Windows bug in ssl.py, and general bug in sslsocket.close().
Remove some unused code from ssl.py. Allow accept() to be called on
sslsocket sockets.
3) Use try-except-else in import of ssl in socket.py. Deprecate use of
socket.ssl().
4) Remove use of socket.ssl() in every library module, except for
test_socket_ssl.py and test_ssl.py.
Found them using::
find . -name '*.py' | while read i ; do grep 'def[^(]*( ' $i /dev/null ; done
find . -name '*.py' | while read i ; do grep ' ):' $i /dev/null ; done
(I was doing this all over my own code anyway, because I'd been using spaces in
all defs, so I thought I'd make a run on the Python code as well. If you need
to do such fixes in your own code, you can use xx-rename or parenregu.el within
emacs.)
smtplib can not log in to some server using command AUTH PLAIN, it sends
``user\0user\0pass'' to the server, but ``\0user\0pass'' has better
compatibility.
The problem was that it expected rfc822.parseaddr() to return None
upon a parse failure. The actual, documented return value for a
parse failure is (None, None).
Closes SF bug 602029.
