[DRE-maint] Debian LTS Security update of ruby-mail

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi ruby-mail maintainers and Debian LTS team

This is my first contribution to Debian LTS so it would be good if someone
review the change. I'm doing this as a training excercise and this is why
the maintainer have not been asked to this for me.

I have prepared an update of the ruby-mail package to correct the problem
described in
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/TEMP-0000000-8B2928

The prepared package is here:
http://apt.inguza.net/wheezy-security/ruby-mail
The debdiff is here:
http://apt.inguza.net/wheezy-security/ruby-mail/diff-against-previous-version-in-wheezy.patch
You can see the test.rb file that I wrote to test the update too.

It actually looks like the problem was solved in SMTP::Net so this update
may not be needed, but on the other hand I just did a very small test so
I guess the security correction will not hurt either.

The correction is a backport of the patch found here:
https://github.com/mikel/mail/commit/72befdc4dab3e6e288ce226a7da2aa474cf5be83

I have tested that the described problem is corrected and I have tested
that it is possible to send an email successfully.

I will upload the correction in four days unless someone objects.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

// Ola
