Too clever!  I'm not sure it would work, though, because in
/sys/src/upas/smtp/mxdial.c the invocation is explicitly:

	addr = netmkaddr(addr, 0, "smtp");

and changing the port by altering /lib/ndb/common:

	tcp=smtp port=25

would be more extreme than I would be comfortable with.

I already added

	tcp=submit port=587

to /lib/ndb/common, so I'm OK with changing mxdial.c:

	addr = netmkaddr(addr, 0, "submit");

and use a recompiled smtp as "submit".  I will insert that in
/mail/lib/remotemail:

	exec /bin/upas/submit -as -u lucio@proxima.alt.za -h $fd $addr $sender $*

and rely on my /mail/lib/rewrite to point the above to the NetBSD MXer
in Cape Town.  Not a solution for everybody, but I'm in the right
situation to use it.

Lucio.

PS: I noted that netmkaddr isn't mentioned in the man page where it
appears only as its invocation.  So I may be making the wrong
assumptions.  I haven't checked the source.
