It's a probably a little bit more complicated.
Zarafa implemented a own function raiseError() which I didn't realized
yesterday in full.

sendmail.php:
https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/ZP/repos/z-push/browse/src/backend/imap/Mail/sendmail.php#193

SMTP.php:
https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/ZP/repos/z-push/browse/src/backend/imap/Net/SMTP.php#1299

Socket.php
https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/ZP/repos/z-push/browse/src/backend/imap/Net/Socket.php#722

If the calls are not compatible with the function from PEAR I see no
easy way to work around. Then it's more important talk to upstream to
solve this problem.
