[Building Sakai] Mailsender stack trace--look familiar to anyone?

[Carl Hall]

This is an artifact from changing to commons email.  I think Java Mail
considers port == -1 as "use the default port".  commons email has a check
for < 1 port values.  I've changed the default value to 25 and pushed the
change to mailsender trunk.  Thanks for finding this!  :-)
