Wol, I understand the general need of wanting to make a direct connection. The OP didn't state any specific reason why it had to be direct, though. So, I offered an easier and more robust solution. Blat is an option too if the current mail server on the UV box does not have a way to route defined mail to a specific SMTPS server without breaking the existing setup. The only issue with using external clients is if the UV admin wants the certificates and keys to be managed solely by UV. Though, I'm sure Blat or Postfix can be told where to get the crypto files if UV doesn't hide them in a back corner somewhere. If direct is the need and want then I found this from Google: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/25129060.pdf If the entire session is being handled inside of UV then the developer will need to read and understand the related SMTP and SMTPS RFCs in order to implement a compliant mail client.
