New submission from Andrew:

The mailgw.py file attempts to catch the socket.sslerror, which is no longer present in 
python 3.3 and on:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLError

As a result attempting to use mailgw.py will throw an exception:

AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'sslerror'. 

The attached simple patch fixes the issue for python3. However, this is going to end up 
skipping the error for python2.

NOTE: I had some communication around this issue in August of 2021 via email but sadly 
dropped the ball.
