What does your email client use? Hmmm .... two systems. Both use claws-mail. I used mailx as a simple (I thought) way of describing the problem. So let's scratch my "simplification" and restate the problem. I have two systems, both with up-to-date Fedora 32, both running claws-mail. Both access the smtp server on hughes.net using port 465. The 'working' systems logs in and transmits the emailwithout any problem. The non-working system hangs on the connection until it times out. Update: Turns out that the SSL certificate was missing. Why, I have no idea. My guess it that hughes (email provider) started requiring it without telling anybody.
