As there is the property System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Timeout, it's natural that you can also expect timeout itself. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpclient.timeout.aspx[^].

After all, what the library should do if a SMTP server is broken after connection is already established, or Internet connection is lost or something like that?
