[Classpath-inetlib] Sending SMTP message gets stuck upon exception

[Øyvind Harboe]

If an exception is thrown while an SMTP message body is being written,
the subsequent "QUIT" command is ignored because it is considered part of the
message body by the SMTP server. This eventually causes the app to wait
indefinitely for the QUIT command to complete.

The patch attached is incomplete and is only intended for illustrative purposes.

// application level code
try
{
        transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
}
finally
{
        // executes QUIT command , but will hang indefinitely if
        // SMPTTransport.java mimeMessage.writeTo() throws e.g. a
        // runtime exception.
        transport.close();
}
