right. reporting the error precisely is hard. but given that we're changing the default client behavior, adding a hint to the message might be appropriate: post: problem initializing server on port 587; [BHST] no servers available post: try -snoop, or check server and port configuration (see mh-tailor(1))
The diagnostics suck and need to be fixed. In their defence, the ':587' on the end of the address is a hint. Meanwhile, I am hacking TLS support into inc's POP code, and it's quickly becoming apparent the assorted bits of network-related code need to be consolidated. This gives a good opportunity to clean up the server-contact configs, auth/security info, etc. Given the IETF's recent enlightenment over security, this is a great chance to overhaul the code and actually leap *ahead* of the world on something :-) --lyndon
