What he was saying is, port 587 is now the preferred submission port. You should only enable 465 if you absolutely MUST support older clients that don't support STARTTLS, like older versions of Outlook Express and Outlook... Personally, I wouldn't enable it, and simply inform the users that they will have to upgrade to a more modern client that supports the secure standards... -- Best regards, Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
