17445	sending mail fails when EMAIL_HOST is an empty string	tinodb	nobody	"I changed EMAIL_HOST from a hostname to an empty string, expecting it to use localhost. A  misleading error was thrown: SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first. This is because the empty string is passed down to smtplib.SMTP, which doesn't connect on init when the given host evaluates to False.

I don't know what the best solution would be, maybe a note in the docs would be enough? Or should the django SMTP backend change an empty host to 'localhost'?"	Bug	closed	Core (Mail)	1.3	Normal	wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
