[issue15779] socket error [Errno 10013] when creating SMTP object

[James Hutchison]

James Hutchison added the comment:

The firewall is disabled for my machine.

So the options are:
1. Port was in-use: possible except that is normally a different error
2. Port was firewalled: firewall was disabled
3. Port mis-use: not likely because this wouldn't be random
4. Port was in restricted port range for some reason: admin privileges did not resolve

#1 seems the most plausible so far
