email.policy.Policy.handle_defect()

handle_defect(obj, defect)

Handle a defect found on obj. When the email package calls this method, defect will always be a subclass of Defect.

The default implementation checks the raise_on_defect flag. If it is True, defect is raised as an exception. If it is False (the default), obj and defect are passed to register_defect().
