So far I've managed to avoid digging deep into this - port 587 is often open, and the cases where it isn't, I've just edited configs. I think it would be nice for NetworkManager to be able to drive a consistent change across all tools - so that when I'm on a broken network I could tell network manager once that its broken and to active $workaround-that-isn't-good-enough-for-normal-use. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
