[PATCH] MimeMessageInputSource.java

Attached is the patch to fix the exception handling problem.  Unfortunately,
this has been tested.  It works.  BellSouth finally got the 552 code it
needed to stop attempting to deliver a message > 4MB after 116 attempts
today.

Is it just me, or is 116 attempts in 18 hours just a bit excessive?  It was
getting 451 errors generated by the JDBC driver until this evening when I
saw the problem occurring, tried to fix it with the maxmessagesize, and had
to create this patch to allow maxmessagesize to return a 552 (BellSouth
doesn't use EHLO).  Meanwhile they consumed almost half a gigabyte of
transfer.  What are retry policies out there?
