106630 - Regression: Specifying a port for SMTP server no longer works

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106631

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

In the past, even with the 0.9.4 branch, it was possible to enter the hostname
for the smtp server in host:port notation. As Mailnews does not provide a
separate GUI for specifying the port name of the server, this was the only way
of using a nonstandard port.

With the current trunk of Mozilla this does no longer work.

To reproduce this, you need a smtp server running on a port different from 25.

Set smtp hostname to hostname:port. Send a mail. Mozilla complains with the
error message "cannot connect to server".

This is caused by NS_MsgBuildSmtpUrl, which always appends ":25" to the smtp
hostname.
