[.. snip ..] > DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl > DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=MTA')dnl [.. snip ..] Are you using tls on port 25? or port 465 (smtps) You may try passing 465 through to your box, and configing outlook to use 465 as the mail port. (or figuring out how to get sendmail to use TLS on 25) I haven't used sendmail in a very long time so my mc skills are quite weak. - andrew -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
