there is NO good reason to use tls_on_connect on port 587. this will only cause interoperability woes. > Note that this does not *prevent* an MUA from connecting on port 25, nor > force it to use SSL/TLS if it does so. or vice versa for MTA's connecting to 587. we actually experienced that yesterday, an MTA set up to use port 587, ostensibly for security purposes! luckily we had put in a check for this and deny unauthenticated sending on ports other than 25 (we support 465 and 587 as MSA). -- Kjetil T. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
