30058	Make SMTP EmailBackend.send_messages() return 0 rather than None for empty/error cases	Denis Stebunov	nobody	"In its current version, EmailBackend.send_messages() would return None if no messages were sent due to a connection error, or a number of sent messages otherwise.

The proposal is to return 0 instead of None so that this method always returns an integer. As far as I can see, other built-in email backends in Django always return an integer.
