Description of problem:
Blank space around value of rhq.server.email.smtp-host property in rhq-server.properties is not removed and causes java.net.UnknownHostException when starting RHQ server

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHQ 4.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open $RHQ-SERVER/bin/rhq-server.properties file
2. Find and change the values for the mail server in something like:

    # Email settings used to connect to an SMTP server to send alert emails.
    rhq.server.email.smtp-host=my.smtp.server.com  
    rhq.server.email.smtp-port=25
    rhq.server.email.from-address=user

but make sure to have one (or more) additional blank space characters after my.smtp.server.com (to check this double-click on the value and see what is highlighted)
3. Save the change and start the RHQ Server.
 
Actual results:
The EAP server where RHQ is running is running but with errors and the following Exception is thrown during start up:
