Bug#316441: exim4-base: tls_on_connect_ports config field does not accept the service name rather than port.

[Alexander Myodov]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal

The field tls_on_connect_ports in the configs accepts only port number, and not the service name.
I.e., the line "tls_on_connect_ports = 465" is correct, while the line "tls_on_connect_ports = ssmtp" or "tls_on_connect_ports = smtps" causes Exim to generate the log lines like

  2005-07-01 02:15:26 tls_on_connect_ports contains "ssmtp", which is not a port number: exim abandoned
  2005-07-01 02:18:35 tls_on_connect_ports contains "smtps", which is not a port number: exim abandoned

Documents indeed do not describe that this field should accept the service name, though it is strange, as this field is very close by its meaning to daemon_smtp_ports which allows the settings like "daemon_smtp_ports = smtp : ssmtp".
