If so how is it done? It's absolutely normal, and even recommended, to set up SMTP access for clients on port 587 provided that you must require authentication for connections on that port. It's quite likely that your SMTP server supports authenticated connections on port 587. The service (SMTP on port 587) is called Message Submission Agent, and is required to bypass the blocks that many ISPs put on direct connections on port 25. > Regards > Paul > -- > Paul Dudley > [email protected] -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex 01273-873148 x3148 For new support requests, see http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/ ______________________________________________ Perdition-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.vergenet.net/listinfo/perdition-users
