Not that I want to be a PITA, but this breaks down with IPv6, right?

Right.  Do we care about symbolic "server.addre.ss:smtp"
notation as well, I wonder?

Well, does it break?

BTW, I do not think we care about ":smtp"; it was a
tongue-in-cheek comment.

Unfortunately, I know little about IPv6 and whether this breaks IPv6 addressing or not. So I'll leave that question for others. Does the unpatched code work with IPv6? Does anyone currently use it that way?

Junio, are you suggesting that I should remove the host:port form support entirely and leave only the --smtp-server port option as valid? I kind of liked that this new method allows both forms of specifying port as equal citizens. :-) If you are suggesting that it be removed, I think we would have to reject the host:port form smtp-server addresses so we don't break when both --smtp- server=host:port and -smtp-ssl are provided. (which brings us back to the ipv6 question). No?
