Use a VPN. I'm sure they don't block it. Make sure that they won't block 587/TCP in the next year. > One could actually VPN out to connect to one's own smarthost, but why > doing so if ssmtp would work? Isn't the availability of 465/TCP just an oversight? Can Exim run SMTP over a set of pipes to a subprocess? If not, this would be a far more useful feature than SSMTP support (and SSMTP could be implemented on top of it, using stunnel). -- ## 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/
