Kumar,

While I can't help you with accessing the UM SMTP servers, I thought I would 
point out to you that Gmail does, in fact, use a secure SMTP connection on port 
465.  Was there something else or some other type of security you were looking 
for?

  Subject: [UM-LINUX] SMTP server settings


  Hi all,
   I am a new graduate student at UMCP. I am using Debian Etch on my Macbook at 
home, and would like to use a secure SMTP server to send mail from my Linux 
Box. Currently, exim is configured to use the Gmail server. Is it possible to 
access a university server, like mail.umd edu, possibly with authentication, to 
send mail?

  I did check the archives, but nothing specific addressed my issue.
