As I mentioned in a previous message, "catch" is the Tcl mechanism
for trapping runtime errors (e.g., a failed socket connection).
See a Tcl reference for details.

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/catch.htm

"catch" appears to work in PL/Tcl functions, at least in PostgreSQL
8.0.2.

Since your function speaks SMTP, you should be familiar with that
protocol so you can check the server's responses. See RFC 2821
for details, especially section 4.2 SMTP Replies and section 4.3
