Do you need SMTPS? If so, for what?
I'm guessing you are blindly assuming you should have it because some
online mail server tester tests for it and told you yours wasn't
working. Correct?
Well the online tester made me aware of it, and some of my clients are
stuck with Outlook Express, thus my interest in it.
The online tester is rather 'dumb' as it does not consider that starttls
is available as well. Of course that means all of the POP clients are
properly configured to use it for sending mail and thus not expose their
identities.
I've been using Postfix for ~8 years and I've never used SMTPS, simply
because I've never needed it. Only enable/configure what you need, no more.
I have to look some more at what I currently have and what my few OE
users are doing.
