[Zope] Mailhost strangeness

[Kevin Carlson]

At seeming random times, a Mailhost object becomes corrupted and does 
not allow the sending of mail.  I get an error that states "integer 
expected" -- see full traceback below.  According to the source code it 
looks like the port number is becoming corrupted.  To solve the problem, 
all I have to do is open the Mailhost object and save it.  Strange.

I am using Zope 2.6.0 with Python 2.1.3 and was wondering if anyone else 
has seen this behavior or has any ideas as to what could cause this.

Thanks,

Kevin
