auth with telnet. If we don't have it on the wiki yet, google for it, learn it, then add it to the wiki. TLS is particularly tricky because you need to encode what you send. There's a web site that'll do the encoding for you though, and you can simply cut'n'paste it.

OK, that did it. It answers to port 587 but not 25. My guess is that SBC is blocking port 25. I will change the port on my wifes system and see what happens. I just checked, and see that my desktop is set to use port 587. Many thanks, CJ Maxwell Smart wrote: Doh! I don't know
