Hi Paul

Thanks for your answers.

Are you sure it requires a TLS connection from the outset? Normally port
587 is used with STARTTLS, where the connection is plaintext and then upgraded. Sometimes you can connect to port 465 with TLS.

Now I has communicated with my hosting company. They write me that the outgoing SMTP-server only can be accessed on port 25 and 587. Therefore I will mean that I not can use the TLS-option in SquirrelMail, since my hosting company use STARTTLS over port 587.

As I have understand the difference between STARTTLS and TLS, STARTTLS is a protocol where the client, e.g. SquirrelMail, first communicate over an unsecure connection, but after that communicate over TLS, because STARTTLS tell SquirrelMail that the server can communicate over TLS. When I select the TLS-option in the SquirrelMail interface, SquirrelMail and other applications, require a "directly" TLS-connection via another port number, e.g. 465.

Is it correct understood?

You can test for each by doing a plain telnet on the command line like this:

telnet example.com 587

telnet example.com 465

My hosting company has closed for Telnet outside their network.

It has been fixed in our source repository, thanks for the report.

Nice to see that :-). Where can I upgrade SquirrelMail from?
