135071 - Can't send mail with SMTP alternate port (host:port)

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Scott Hess]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031115

In a previous version (version in RH7.2) when I specified an alternate port for
an SMTP server (e.g., localhost:2121) I was able to send mail (I had port
forwarded using ssh). But after I installed new Mozilla version (same SMTP
settings), sending mail failed with message that connection to SMTP server
failed. I know connection was OK because with same settings in KDE's KMail I was
able to send mail OK.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Forward a port to some valid SMTP server
2 Edit>Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings
3.In Server Name edit box, enter name of server, colon, port number (e.g.,
localhost:2121)
4.Try to send a mail message.

Actual Results:  Error pop-up, unable to connect to SMTP server

Expected Results:  Succesful send.

this has already been addressed and you need a nightly build to use it
there's now a seperate entry box for the port

marking INVALID
