This change suggests that, although undocumented, existing users
could have already been using

	--smtp-server=smtp.myisp.com:26

to specify a nonstandard port, and this patch, while bringing in
the support for a nonstandard port as an official feature, would
break such a setup.  I wonder how real the issue is, and if we
can work it around easily.  For example,

 (1) drop the "default to 25 for smtp if undefined" part we saw
     earlier;

 (2) redo this part as

	if ($smtp_ssl) {
		... as you have it ...
	} else {
		require Net::SMTP;
                $smtp ||= Net::SMTP->new((defined $smtp_server_port) ?
					 "$smtp_server:$smtp_server_port" :
                                         $smtp_server);
	}
-		$smtp->auth( $smtp_authuser, $smtp_authpass )
-			or die $smtp->message if (defined $smtp_authuser);
...
+    
+    # we'll get an ugly error if $smtp was undefined above.
+    # If so we'll catch it and present something friendlier.
+    if ($smtp) {
+
+      if ((defined $smtp_authuser) && (defined $smtp_authpass)) {
+        $smtp->auth( $smtp_authuser, $smtp_authpass ) or die $smtp->message;
+      }
+    ...
+    } else {
+      die "Unable to initialize SMTP properly.  Is there something wrong with your config?";
+    }

I'd prefer the check done the opposite order, like

	if (!$smtp) {
        	die ...
	}

without an else clause.
