Support chunk sending in `smtplib`

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

smtplib.SMTP currently has the method data(msg : Union[bytes, str]) to send the message which takes the entire serialized rfc822 message as bytes or str. Email messages can be pretty large -- 10M or more. So it would be nice to be able to send the message in chunks without having to bring it all into the python heap at once. I have a proof-of-concept of this
that adds a parameter data(msg : bytes, last : bool) that I am using in Koukan my mta project.

smtp.data(b'hello\r\n', last=False)
smtp.data(b'world!\r\n', last=True)

I wanted to see if there was any interest in merging this. Building on this, I have another patch to add support for rfc3030 CHUNKING/BDAT which is maybe a separate discussion but if we extend the api here, it ought to be able to support both dotstuff and bdat transparently.

In parallel with this, I am trying to make the corresponding change to aiosmtpd

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Commencez par smtplib.SMTP.data et examinez la preuve de concept liée concernant les données par morceaux, puis lisez la discussion Python liée. Clarifiez l'API et sa relation avec RFC 3030 CHUNKING/BDAT et dot-stuffing avant l'implémentation ; le travail est terminé lorsqu'une conception approuvée pour l'envoi de chunks est acceptée.
