[New-bugs-announce] [issue4470] smtplib SMTP_SSL not working.

[Lorenzo M. Catucci]

New submission from Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo at sancho.ccd.uniroma2.it>:

The enclosed patch does three things:
1. enables SMTP_SSL working: the _get_socket method was setting
   self.sock instead of returning the socket to the caller, which
   did reset self.sock to None
2. replace home-grown SSLFakeFile() with calls to ssl.socket's makefile()
   calls both in the starttls and in the SMTP_SSL cases
3. shutdown sockets before closing them, to avoid server-side piling and
   connection refused on connection-limited servers
The last change is just a cosmetical refactoring, but it really helps
the SMTP_SSL case: default_port should really be a class attribute,
instead of being set at __init__ time.
