Subject:   ssmtp - possible anomaly with SSL
Message-ID:  <201011060723.39786.FreeBSD@insightbb.com>

I recently figured out how to send mail thru my ISP ID using ssmtp.  I had 
previously only been using KMail, and I had it configured to use port 465  SSL 
LOGIN.

I can send mail when I don't use port 465:
mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com

but if I add the port 465 a,d enable SSL with:
UseTLS=YES

then I use the -v switch and also -auFreeBSD -apPassword
as in smtp -v -auFreeBSD -apPassword freebsd@insightbb.com

and the messages all indicate success, but the mail never arrives. It does 
when I don't use SSL on port 465.

KMail does work with SSL on port 465.
