Hi, I am trying to connect to an smtp server running on port 587. On the said server, SMTP auth is required. But when I call smtp_open_full() with 587 as port, it defaults to port 25 when I look at the results obtained from tcpdump. I tried setting 'smtp_port' using smtp_parameters(), to get the same result. Delving through the code, I finally realized that getservbyname() was being called in tcp_open() which was defaulting to 25.
My question is, since I pass a port explicitly, shouldn't it override the default port obtained from /etc/services ? or am i missing something ? regards, Sujith DISCLAIMER: Information contained and transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to Sify Limited and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
