Due to the nature of Net::SMTP's new method, it is not overridden to make use of a default port for the SMTPS service. Perhaps future versions will be smart like that. Port 465 is usually what you want, and it's not a pain to specify that. . This package is deprecated. Net::SMTP (in perl core) has support for SMTP over SSL, and also for STARTTLS, since version 1.28 (included in Perl 5.22).
