The problem here is that, in case of authentication to SMTP server,
there's no way to exit the loop of pwd request:

Report will be sent to $NAME <$EMAIL>
Submit this report on $PKG (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|?]?
Connecting to smtp.googlemail.com:587 via SMTP...
Enter SMTP password for foo at smtp.googlemail.com:587:
SMTP error: authentication failed.  Try again.
Connecting to smtp.googlemail.com:587 via SMTP...
Enter SMTP password for foo at smtp.googlemail.com:587:

and no file is saved.
