Comment:
I agree with Karen here. If the Python version in use (< 2.6) is such that
no SSL support exists in the `smtplib`library and the user has requested
it with `settings.MAIL_USE_SSL = True` then the code should **refuse** to
work at deployment time and should show some kind of explanation about the
reason.
Otherwise with the latest patch, the user might erroneously think
connections to the SMTP server are SSL-encrypted when they fact aren't;
giving he/she a false sense of security.
I'm going to move this back to accepted/patch needs improvement. Please
move it back to RFC if I'm misunderstanding things.
