Outdated SMTP Client Tutorial

[argonemyth]

The  tutorial is nice. I like the error-prone to the exception-free approach, but the current twistd no longer throws those exceptions. Running smtpclient-1.tac to smtpclient-10.tac, you would get similar output! So, a re-write is needed! :)

Hi,

I was totally wrong about the twistd's behaviour described above!!! I must have ran the tac files without checking what's inside, and I didn't have a SMTP server on the localhost. So, the only change I made to the tutorial itself is to add the following sentences in the SMTP Client 3 section:

If you don't have a local SMTP server, you can replace localhost with other SMTP servers (like ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM). The rest of the tutorial will require a working SMTP server.

I also updated the output with Twisted version 12.1.0 and removed some trailing whitespace.

It's ok if you don't use the patch, but still, running all the examples and updating the output did took quite some time, so I would be glad if you guys use the patch!!

Thanks!

1. The output almost matches the actual example output. In the tutorial I see:

   18:55 EST [-] Log opened.
   

   Running it locally shows the full timestamp is missing:

   2012-09-13 14:51:18+0200 [-] Log opened.
   

2. When running twistd -ny smtpclient-3.tac it outputs the following, which differs from the output you added, why is that?:

   2012-09-13 14:54:42+0200 [-] Log opened.
   2012-09-13 14:54:42+0200 [-] using set_wakeup_fd

3. Same for smtpclient-5.tac, I don't see the traceback.

In general:

1. A .misc newsfile is missing
2. Can you put this in a branch so we can test it with buildbot

Thanks!
