More info. SMPTConnection.java extends MailConnection.java which has a method with this signature:
public boolean protocolConnect(String host, int port, String username, String password) throws MessagingException If you fail to pass ‘host’ as an argument to the method, the host defaults to ‘localhost’. A patch could be made there. A better patch would be to find the upstream code that is calling this method and patch it to send the correct hostname. I am hunting for that location, please let me know if you have any suggestions...
