What is this patch supposed to actually accomplish? (The list archives
seem to be unreachable.)
When an arbitrary port is specified with the smtphost keyword
(i.e. "smpthost host/port"), port is not stripped from email addresses
(as ctl->destaddr is set in smtp_open), so fetchmail uses invalid
email addresses and smtp hosts reject mail. My patch fixes this
behavior (last attempt do no introduce another bug :-)).
Another workaround is to use the smtpaddress keyword, but fetchmail
should anyway strip the port from email addresses if smtpaddress is not
specified.
OK. Please resubmit with this documentation.
