Nope.

If the SSL connection isn't set up on connection level at start, but on an application configured stage afterwards, however, s_client wouldn't work. An example would be STARTTLS on IMAP (not IMAPS) and SMTP.
Excellent! It works :-) Well, gmail is giving me trouble with USER & PASS, but I have managed to connect to other maileservers on port 995 successfully. Just to confirm: Are the username and password using this client transmitted with SSL/TLS encryption? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
