SMTP inside TOR has so many little issues it makes my brain hurt.
Then let me ask a little question: I've been running this for about
half a day now, I figure the directory servers have properly
propagated the open port information, can anyone at least actually use
this to send encrypted email?
Port 465 doesn't have this problem though as the entire conversation is

995 is pops (pop via SSL). tcp/587
Alright, can someone test and see if I have this set up right? All

Second, why were there three of them for two protocols? Did I
misunderstand something?
Third, what are the implications -- both
