[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

From: Jens Östlund <jens <at> iensu.me>

Subject: 29.1; smtpmail-send-it fails to authenticate using auth-sources
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 08:17:07 +0200

When sending an email with 'smtpmail-send-it' the function 'smtpmail-try-auth-methods' fails to find the matching entry. Using 'edebug' I've found that the reason is this piece of code where the 'port' is converted to a string (smtpmail.el.gz:533-536):

'(setq port
	(if port
	    (format "%s" port)
	  "smtp"))'

When the 'port' is later passed to 'auth-source-search' on line 541 it fails to find any matching entries since ':port' is matched as a number, not a string. If I remove the above piece of code, so that 'port' is never turned into a string, sending the email works as expected. Maybe the best solution is to make 'auth-source-search' match both numeric and string values, at least for the ':port' argument.

SMTP session trace:

'220 mailrelay6 ESMTP
