(sending to the list) Well, you're expecting a mailserver to behave like a end-user mailclient, and while there is a some overlap there, they aren't the same thing. Look at the exim FAQ and the stunnel site - you'll want to do something like: . setup stunnel to listen on a local IP:465, with the remote end of the tunnel being your smarthost at the ISP, or whatever destination needs ssl on port 465 . tell exim to smarthost/manual route that dest domain to that local IP/port The exim FAQ has pointers on how to setup manual route to a specific destination (though it looks like smarthosting is what you're looking for), as well as how to use a different dest port # (other than 25). The stunnel site has copious usage examples. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC Unit #260 TINLC Have you hugged your firewall today?
