The smtplib.SMTP.quit() method does not reset the 'helo_resp' and
'ehlo_resp' instance attributes. During the next
smtplib.SMTP.sendmail(), the HELO/EHLO commands are not sent, and may
cause the remote SMTP service to reject the message, due to improper
protocol handshaking.

To fix, self.helo_resp and self.ehlo_resp should be set to 'None' in the
smtplib.SMTP.quit() method.
