34167	Set a reasonable default for EMAIL_TIMEOUT	Federico Capoano	nobody	"Why there's no default for EMAIL_TIMEOUT?

Applications built in Django can potentially stall indefinitely if email
sending starts to hang (eg: if the SMTP server is overloaded), when this
happens, since there's no timeout, there's also no error being logged, so
it's very hard and time consuming to debug.

Wouldn't it be better to set a timeout? Some high value like 2 minutes
which wouldn't really make sense to wait any longer, so at least if and
when this happens, developers will find error traces in the logs and
quickly understand where the problem is coming from, instead of spending
hours to debug it like I did in the past week."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (Mail)	4.1	Normal	wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
