 name of the remote host to which an SMTP connection is required.
 
+On failure C<undef> will be returned and C<$@> will contain the reason
+for the failure.

 C<HOST> is optional. If C<HOST> is not given then it may instead be
 passed as the C<Host> option described below. If neither is given then
 the C<SMTP_Hosts> specified in C<Net::Config> will be used.
