Yikes, now that seems even more complicated! Does this mean that I need to have it setup on both ports (in order to support a wide variety of clients)? In outlook express there is an ability to change the port number. When does outlook express use port 465? When you click the "Logon using secure password authentication" check box? Ok, now I really need some help. How can I set it up so that authenticated relaying requires SSL while normal inbound smtp/esmtp connections do not? Obviously this has been done before by someone? It must be really simple (one hopes). All the best, Peter - novice courier and system adim boldly going where many others have tread before willingly piling more and more rocks into the admin backpack while assulting the two towers seemingly forever on the quest for knowledge and the easiest way to configure these systems... ;--) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
