RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milan Crha 2015-05-26 07:28:48 UTC
Kind of clone of an upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749292

The SMTP connection can timeout and fail to send the message. The upstream bug report claims that the message pretends to be sent, while it isn't, but I wasn't able to reproduce that. I was able to reproduce the timeout on the connection when cheating in the code.

I suggest to use the upstream patch proactively, even not being to reproduce the issue without code cheating.

> The SMTP connection can timeout and fail to send the message.

Just realized, when the upstream reporter updated the bug report, that the reason was also elsewhere, already fixed in 3.16.0, but not in 3.12.x. The other part of the fix is commit [1], with which I'm updating the patch for this bug report.
