To be able to configure a timeout when sending mails using net.smtp

[khalyomede]

Describe the feature

Currently the timeout is not exposed as an option when sending email. This value would set the TcpConn.read_timeout and TcpConn.write_timeout.

Use Case

To shut down the sending if it takes too long to connect to the SMTP server.

Proposed Solution

client := net.smtp.Client{
  // ...
  timeout: 10 // sec.
}
