This didn't work with 2001122803. The following was observed:
-- Modifying the ("mail.smtpserver.smtp4.hostname", "www.cotse.net")
cause the line to *NOT* be displayed in the pull-down menu. The same
happened if you typed that in as a host name. It was accepted but then
not diplayed.
-- Modifying the ("mail.server.server8.hostname", "www.cotse.net:465")
for the specific account causes (on initial use) a dns query for the
hostname exactly as typed (':465' and all) to be issued. Subsequent
connection attempts went to the host sans the port number. If there is a
mail server on port 25, it is accepting the connection. (this was
monitored with tcpdump.)
Interestingly, there is one attempted connection in the log for port
smtps, which is 465. I need to start all over and see what caused that.
