Public bug reported:

If you misconfigured your SMTP server (like STARTTLS in place of SSL on
port 465 as in my case) or your SMTP server is temporarily unavailable,
you'll never reach a timeout. This leads to all kind of weird freezes
(every action that triggers a ir_mail_server.connect()), that can be for
posting to groups, creating projects, etc. Hard to find for laymen in
any case.

Consider passing timeout=[something] to smtplib.SMTP{,_SSL} or call
socket.setdefaulttimeout([something]) in the initialization code.
