[issue12378] smtplib.SMTP_SSL leaks socket connections on SSL error

[Milan Oberkirch]

Milan Oberkirch added the comment:

I agree that there is not much we can do on the server side (see issue 19806) and with the fix for issue 19662 the server won't recognize this error at all (patiently waiting for b'\r\n\' which is unlikely to appear in the first handshake-message from the client).

Attached is a smtplib patch for 3.x.
