smtplib hang on send "data <crlf>" to MS SMTP server

[max at rightworks.com]

code which works fine with netscape SMTP mail server, fails (hangs) when
attempting to send mail to a MicroSoft SMTP server.  In the module following
the call to putcmd("data") the data() calls getreply and never returns. Does
anyone have an idea what is happening here?  The server seems to work with
other clients. thanks max
