Description
When the SMTP server is offline and you submit a new ticket, the ticket is submitted properly, but the user is taken to a traceback page. I accidentally resubmitted an issue multiple times because I was given no indication of success.
I suggest checking for SMTP errors and handling them more gracefully. Possibly even ignoring them from the user's perspective and letting the trac-admin know there is a problem.

This is a duplicate of #980, which has been fixed in trunk.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.



This would definitely be useful. The current error page is very misleading. As you say, there is no indication the action completed, just a back-trace to say the notification failed.
