send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit
Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when sending many messages. Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages (configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and reconnect, to work around such a limit. Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default. Note: We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server; Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic servers. cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/7993e188.d18d.15c3560bcaf.Coremail.zxq_yx_007@163.com/ Signed-off-by: xiaoqiang zhao <zxq_yx_007@163.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
