I assume you got this when redirecting STDIN, right? I guess it will
loop until it reaches a line with a number (or valid port) in
it. Interactively,
$ swaks -t gw...@iiec.unam.mx -p 587-g -s lafa.iiec.unam.mx
Unable to resolve port 587-g
Port: foo
Unable to resolve port foo
Port: bar
Unable to resolve port bar
Port: boring
Unable to resolve port boring
Port: 587
=== Trying lafa.iiec.unam.mx:587...
=== Connected to lafa.iiec.unam.mx.
<- 220 lafa.iiec.unam.mx ESMTP Postfix - No UCE/spam please. Rate limit: 10
conn/min.
(...)
I cannot say this behaviour is wrong. Swaks cannot decide where to
connect to. Quoting from source (line ~1766):
# SMTP port
$G::link{port} = $o->{mail_port} || interact("Port: ", '^\w+$')
if (defined($o->{mail_port}));
$G::link{port} ||= $fconf->{PORT};
if ($G::link{port}) {
# in here, the user has either specified a port, or that they _want_
# to, so if it isn't a resolvable port, ,keep prompting for another one
my $o_port = $G::link{port};
if ($G::link{port} !~ /^\d+$/) {
$G::link{port} = getservbyname($G::link{port}, 'tcp');
while (!$G::link{port}) {
$G::link{port} = $o_port =
interact("Unable to resolve port $o_port\nPort: ", '^\w+$');
$G::link{port} = getservbyname($G::link{port}, 'tcp')
if ($G::link{port} !~ /^\d+$/);
}
}
So this is definitively the upstream intended behaviour.
