Thanks to everyone, that works. However, now I see that the certificate on server31 expired in July..... What do I do about that? Mark

Thanks! Mark

Hi Raul, Yes that's what I want. I'm in no big hurry. Thanks for taking a look.

Thank for the replies guys, I might be missing something, but bear with me.... I need to use a port other than 25 (26 is fine), and I don't want to send my login details in plaintext. When you say: does this mean that Server Authentication encrypts the username/password? Mark

That's what I'm trying. It seems to work fine without SSL enabled. SSL works fine on 25. They don't work together.... Mark

Hi, Sorry if this is a FAQ. I thought I would search and find lots of traffic on this, but didn't. I found one reference to using port 26 in a thread, but I've tried that and the connection was rejected. This is the message in Outlook Express: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Default TCH account', Server: 'server31.totalchoicehosting.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F Also, I thought enabling the check boxes in Accounts->Mail->Advanced for SSL would mean the traffic was sent over port 443, but by default smtp still goes out on 25, POP3 on 110 (although that changes to 995 when you check the box). Obviously this is going to be an issue more and more. At work we will begin blocking all outbound smtp traffic not going to our own mail server. ISPs are starting to do this as well. Thanks in advance, Mark
