[9fans] ssmtp

["onyx.peridot" <onyx.peridot@gmail.com>]

[Moderator's note:  Use of port 465 (ssmtp) is supposedly obsolete
 although many clients still use it.  The "official" way to do this
 is to use port 587 (msa) as described in RFC2476.]

Hi 9fans,

Is there any easy way to configure upas/smtp to use port 465 (ssmtp)
for authenticated smtp ?  Or does it require modification of the
source code of upas/smtp ?  I would like to get ssmtp working because
I don't have a fixed IP for my 9p server at home, and my ISP blocks
all smtp traffic except packets going through their smtp server, which
is very insecure and unreliable.

However, the smtp server in my office is secured and allows TLS via
port 25 and ssmtp via port 465.  I have already spent 2 days trying to
make it work, but to no avail.  I used snoopy to dump all the tcp
traffic and it seems that upas/smtp does not talk over port 465
regardless of what configuration I used.  Of course, I might have made
some errors, and that is why I pose my first question.
