Old description:
> 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.
