Hi,

I've verified the same timeout behavior with Outlook Express and Thunderbird. Using Thunderbird, I was able to check different settings too. The settings should be to use authentication on the smtp server using SSL. Someone, please educate me, does this mean that the authentication takes place over port 465 and the regular smtp still takes place over 25, or do both take place over 25? I ask because KMail (my setup at home that works) says to use SSL, not TLS which uses port 465. At the server, I use sockstat and see that on IPv4 sendmail has an open port on 465.
Depending on the mailserver and its setup it should be able to support SSL/TLS and unencrypted session on port 25. On port 465 Only SSL/TLS sessions are supported. There is also port 587 (again depending on the server and setup) that uses port 587 just for the submission of email using unencrypted/SSL/TLS sessions. Depending on the mailserver it should also be able to support authentication on any of the 3 above ports.
I hope that helps. Cheers cya Andrew
