The SMTP_SSL doc says “If port is omitted, the standard SMTP-over-SSL port (465) is used”, but actually port 25 is used by default. The fix is trivial: make "default_port" a class attribute (in both SMTP and SMTP_SSL) instead of setting it inside the constructor.

test_smtpnet uses an explicit port to connect to gmail, which is why it doesn't exhibit the issue.

(Kasun, I'm adding you since you might be interested. Sorry if it isn't the case)

I did a quick patch based on the suggested solution.

(pitrou, thanks for adding to the nosy list or could have missed this)

Should we add a unit test for this as well?

True, a simple test could be added to test_smtpnet.

I'm submitting another patch which includes a test in test_smtpnet. Would appreciate further feedback.
