I have no idea what SSL SMTP sessions even ARE, so sorry, I can't tell

~Yersinia.


most big ISPs now require you to use encryption when talking to their SMTP servers when you are sending email from some IP address that is outside of their network (when you are not at home, for exmaple, but at the StarBucks (assuming they don't provide service to the StarBucks).

The encryption used is SSL, Secure Socket Layers.

If you can't use thqat protocol, no more sending mail while away from home.

This is what finally got me to buy a Clie UX-50 and use it more than my Newton 2100 when travelling. .sigh. (there is no SSL for the Newton).
