I tried a postgres destination without explicitly specifying the port, and it just worked. On localhost, it just worked, when I specified a remote host (which
had no postgres listening), it figured out the correct port, and tried to connect there.

I'd assume the problem lies within libdbi, as when no port is specified, syslog-ng sets the port option on the DBI object to 0. My version of DBI (Debian
Squeeze) treats the zero port as "use the default" (verified, just had a look at the libdbi-drivers source). Judging by the libdbi-drivers CVS tree, every
other version of libdbi should behave in a similar manner.

Why it still tries to connect to port 0 though, is beyond me, but the ball's in libdbi's court, in my opinion.
