That looks fine.  I just wanted to be sure that the SMTP server
responded normally.

The bizarre thing is that this hangs:

(make-network-process :name "smtpmail" :buffer (get-buffer-create "foo") :host 
"foo.bar.com" :service 465)

But that seems virtually impossible.  `make-network-process' is a simple
C function that just connect to the port in question.  If that hangs,
then something is very wrong with your Emacs installation.  But I don't
know what that could be.
