smtplib.starttls() needs to include does_esmtp=0. Without
this, the "size=" suffix on MAIL FROM lines causes server
errors since the MTA defaults to HELO mode. This is also
necessary in order to conform to RFC 2487 section 5.2,
which states after TLS is started, all prior knowledge
(including esmtp capability) must be discarded.
This bug exists in Python 2.3.2 and earlier.

Shouldn't you also reset other state, such as esmtp_features?

Yes, the state that should be reset includes helo_resp, ehlo_resp,
esmtp_features, and does_esmtp.
The workaround commonly proposed is to always call ehlo() after starttls()
.  While this works (most of the time?), it seems arbitrary to require an
explicit ehlo() call in this case but not other cases.

I've attached an updated diff, against the 2.4.3 smtplib.py, which forgets
all of the relevant pieces of information.  The line numbers are offset
from the standard lib because the original file has my patch for issue
1339 applied, but there is no overlap so this patch should apply cleanly.

Fixed in trunk (2.6) r60015.
msg60021 - (view) Author: Gregory P. Smith (gregory.p.smith) * (Python committer) Date: 2008-01-17 07:55
and in r60017 on release25-maint for inclusion in 2.5.2.
