STARTTLS on port 25 and SSL on port 465 are two entirely different things. Unfortunately, PowerMail only supports the latter, which isn't used as much by e-mail providers as the former. If CTM could add STARTTLS to PowerMail, I might be able to stop jumping between PowerMail and Sylpheed. :-(( Emily
