So, SMTPS (465/tcp) is deprecated and I can remove this line from my master.cf I actived submission (587/tcp) and I ask: For my experience, this would useful only to users to send messages (a dedicated daemon) and port 25 (other SMTP daemon) to receive mail from others servers, correct? What the real beneficit after that? I already have TLS actived in my SMTP daemon and the submission only would alter the port to connect? My submission is the default: submission inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING []'s > >> Now I have smtp+tls. >> smtps == smtp+tls and different port? >> >> Any reference about that? > > http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html > http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_tls_wrappermode > >> [1] - http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html > -- > Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless > "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header > -- Eduardo Júnior GNU/Linux user #423272 :wq
