Hm, so the problem occurs when you give smtp_host_string() to
Net::SMTP->new() as the first argument.

So if smtp_host_string() returns a hostname without a port, then
Net::SMTP->new() will connect to port 25 by default?

I need to be in a (firewalled?) network that uses Kerberos to
reproduce this, right?  Even if I can't reproduce it, the change seems
to be fine.

While we're on the subject, do you know how to get rid of this huge
ugly warning I get everytime I send emails?
