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.
