OK, I've checked out the OpenBSD version and I see it now. In that
version it looks like '%p' is going to expand to '0' when the default
port is used, instead of to '22' as it should.

Do you want me to try to redo the 'persist' patch against that code? I
can't (easily) test it until it's in the portable version.

Btw, I got another of your misguided TMDA challenges today, because I
use a new reverse-path each day. If you must persist with this, please
could you whitelist *.srs.infradead.org? Since all messages from those
domains are timestamped and hash-signed¹, SMTP callouts are perfectly
sufficient to confirm the authenticity of a mail -- you don't have to
actually send the challenge and wait for a reply. TMDA is just making
the spam problem worse by sending _more_ junk mail to innocent third
parties.
