Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.56.0-2
Severity: minor

The matching of smarthost names in the config files "esmtproutes" and 
"esmtpauthclient" has changed since Courier 0.55. I experienced problems after
upgrading to Debian's 0.56.0-1, and found more information here:
http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html

The note on the website isn't exactly clear, however. I had something like the
following in my esmtproutes:

: my.mailserver.net,2025

and the following in my esmtpauthclient:

my.mailserver.net userid password

Apparently, now the following is needed in esmtpauthclient:

my.mailserver.net,2025 userid password

It would be nice if this were documented somewhere, in NEWS.Debian or even
the changelog, so the next poor sap that gets hit by this behaviour change
doesn't spend as long as I did to figure out what exactly changed ;-).

Thanks,

Mourad DC
