[1.4.X] Removed documentation for SMTPConnection, which was removed at r15978....

    EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

.. admonition:: SMTPConnection objects

    Prior to version 1.2, Django provided a

    :class:`~django.core.mail.SMTPConnection` class. This class provided a way

    to directly control the use of SMTP to send email. This class has been

    deprecated in favor of the generic email backend API.

    For backwards compatibility :class:`~django.core.mail.SMTPConnection` is

    still available in ``django.core.mail`` as an alias for the SMTP backend.

    New code should use :meth:`~django.core.mail.get_connection` instead.

For a more detailed discussion of testing and processing of emails locally,

see the Python documentation for the :mod:`smtpd` module.
