Bug #13018

```
require 'net/smtp'
real_email_address = '' # This needs to actually be a real account
real_email_password = '' # This needs to actually be the corresponding password
#line 96 of mail-2.2.7/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb
smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp-relay.gmail.com', 587)
smtp.enable_starttls_auto if smtp.respond_to?(:enable_starttls_auto)
# smtp.set_debug_output $stderr # Uncomment this line to see SMTP session details
smtp.start('does-not-matter', real_email_address, real_email_password, 'Login') do |smtp|
smtp.sendmail('Message does not matter', 'inconsistent from address', 'does not matter')
end
```
Yields `end of file reached (EOFError)`. From the discussion there, discussiont here, it seems like the SMTP relay is inappropriately killing the session, but I believe it should be wrapped in a different error - e.g. Net:SMTPError. As it stands, there's no stack trace available or this error, so it just appears and is difficult to find.
Tried with 2.4.0-preview3, 2.3.3, and 2.3.1 (as well as jruby-9.1.6.0) and all had the same behavior
