Title:
  Thunderbird hardcodes the SMTP server to smtp.domain.tld

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When trying to create a new account Thunderbird hardcodes the SMTP
  server to SMTP.domain.tld. There are mail systems where host
  smtp.domain.tld does not exist and the outgoing server is something
  else (in my case mail.tut.fi) and Thunderbird can't create a account
  for those.

  This can be worked around by adding smtp.domain.tld to /etc/hosts, but
  that's not an option for regular users.

  $ host smtp.tut.fi
  Host smtp.tut.fi not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

  $ host mail.tut.fi
  mail.tut.fi has address 130.230.162.20
  mail.tut.fi has address 130.230.162.19

   cat /etc/hosts |grep tut
  130.230.162.19  smtp.tut.fi

  $ LC_ALL=C aptitude show thunderbird |grep Version
  Version: 6.0~b3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
