Yes, in fact there are 2 reasons :) 1) 465 is the standard IANA port for smtps, as I wrote in the FAQ 2) KMail seems not to recognize a smtps connexion on port 25. In fact, maybe a bug of KMail (I know... too bad) Nevertheless, I'll see if I can open the port 25 with SSL/TLS enabled without any problems. Note: it could be usefull, for security reason, to have a "sub-deamon" listening on port 25 but in "receive-only" mode... what do you thing about that ? Nobody wants an open relay on his mail server, isn't it ? Thanks, Emmanuel _____________________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter en "live" avec vos amis ?
