No connection attempts were made when trying to create chatmail account

I tried at least six different hosts listed on chatmail.at. Could we make the error message a bit more verbose to better understand what is the error about?

The root cause was related to DNS interference. More details along with the error message could have really helped.

I suspect that this is the error you’re talking about

github.com/chatmail/core

src/net.rs

676132457


      
          // Out of connection attempts.
          //
          // Break out of the loop and return error.
          break Err(
              first_error.unwrap_or_else(|| format_err!("No connection attempts were made"))
          );
