failed builds send out an error email all at the same time much later

[tpokorra]

it seems, after some nightly jobs failed, they are only sent out once I access the lbs page?

related code:

• email function in https://github.com/SolidCharity/LightBuildServer/blob/master/lib/Logger.py#L119
• called in function buildpackage in https://github.com/SolidCharity/LightBuildServer/blob/master/lib/Build.py#L227

I cannot reproduce it with the test/test_email.py script.

The email is sent out immediately, see the headers in the source of the email. What is missing is the Date header, so Thunderbird assigns the date and time of receival. see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1078611 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36832632/sending-mail-via-smtplib-loses-time
