Cannot Specify SMTP Port

On the 'Email Account Settings' form on the 'Notifications' section of the 'Config' tab, there is no box to enter the SMTP port. I assume that it's fixed at port 25 in your code.

Some email servers now use a port other than the standard port 25 to prevent spam hijacking.

If a box were added to input a port number (it can default to 25), then those of us with a non-standard port can use email notifications. This is a common feature in many applications that send email notifications (SickRage does this, for example).

Thanks.

The SMTP Server setting takes an optional port number, via the common host:port syntax. Also see the wiki for more details, it's linked from every config page.

Than you! This worked perfectly.

Just a suggestion: why not add this info to the Notification config page under the Server box? It's not something that's immediately obvious...

Indeed, will add that.
