I'm not sure it would work, though, because in /sys/src/upas/smtp/mxdial.c the invocation is explicitly: addr = netmkaddr(addr, 0, "smtp");this works, and it's common practice. if it did not work, telnet wouldn't work on anything other than port 23. the reading of the 3d argument is "default port", not we're forcing this port come hell or high water. - erik
This is detailed in the manpage for dial(2), which I know because I went through the exact process Lucio did but concluded there was no way someone would make things that hard for themselves... so I checked the documentation. Never hurts! khm
