As far as I understand it in layman's terms: 465 is for MTA to MTA (server to server) , and 587 is for MUA to MTA (client to server) mail submissions. I try to keep track of specifications as a reference as to why certain settings should be a certain way - but Im a bit behind on my complete reading of these texts - so my interpretation might be a bit off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
