When I telnet to my remote host on port 465, I just get the following, and nothing more... Trying 111.222.333.444... Connected to smtp.myrelay.com (111.222.333.444). Escape character is '^]'. Does this confirm that my host is using ssl-on-connect? (NB I know the host works, because I am sending this message through it with Pine!) I'll hunt around on Google to find some instructions for setting up Stunnel with Exim...

On port 25, yes - but that is blocked by my ISP (I am receiving my incoming mail on another non-standard port via a relay service). There is no response on port 587. thanks, Matthew. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
