Noel, connecting to server remotely didn't work. I wonder what's the reason
as no ports seem to be blocked.


g2$ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect one.mailexpeditor.com:25
CONNECTED(00000003)
157:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
protocol:s23_clnt.c:601:


I also tried using port 587 but no luck with it, same trouble as with 25.


Try 'openssl s_client ...' from the same machine you're using thunderbird
