The only hitch is that office 2K is my last = version of office (as win2K is my last version of a MS OS that'll I'll = buy). It was a challange to cover all the bases, between outlook [express] and = others (Kmail, Evolution...) I have running: 25 - smtp (with or w/o auth), w/STARTTLS 587 - MSA (auth SMTP), w/ STARTTLS 465 - smtps (with or w/o auth), SSL 110 - pop3, w/STARTTLS *996 (not 995!) - pop3s, SSL 143 - imap (don't think that supports STARTTLS) 993 - imaps, SSL I'm using qpopper for pop3 and imap-uw for imap and sendmail for the = rest. I installed cyrus-sasl to provide decent password protection on = the non-ssl'ed connections. *996 instead of 995... this was a wierd one. Outlook normally defaults = to port 995 if one selects "use SSL" but when I configured qpopper to = use SSL on 995 the negotation would fail. If i changed ports, it = succeeded. I think I know what happened and that I could probably get it = to work on 995 but I haven't had the time to work on it. I config Outlook to use SSL on ports 465 and either 996(pop3) or = 993(imap). Kmail and such use 587(MSA) and 110/993 as they support = STARTTLS. =20 If anyone is interested in the relevant bits of inetd/sendmail/qpopper = config files, just shout. -lee
