I set up a redirector on the web site.

Users go to
http://www.domain.com/mail

And get sent to
https://www.domain.com:8383/

People easily remember the /mail.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Port 8383


 There are sb outthere with proxy connection, and block anything different
than 80 or 443.

  You can have problems on some circumstances with these people, and you can
only say "It's your admin problem...".

   I prefer 80...

>Any pros or cons port 80 vs port 8383

some dumb kiddie scripts might attack 80 without looking for HTTP on other
ports, but probably not much difference in practice.  all ports are scanned.

domain.com:8383

... is just one more complication for the users to learn, and to forget, a
support issue.

So I prefer 80 :

webmail.domain.com
