It's probably not a port. Note that the port 465 you are using to submit mail has nothing to do with how mail is delivered from there on. Port 465 is never used between mail servers[1]. It's probably SMTP status code 451, which is a temporary error message inviting the sending server to try again at a later time. Combined with the error message, I'm inclined to think it's a greylisting system on the receiving server. But apparently your ISP's mail server has given up on trying to deliver it and bounced it to you. Either your ISP is giving up too soon, or the receiving server is holding it off for too long. The latter might be because of a configuration error. The mail I'm replying to got through, though. I have to admit the formatting of the message with the 451 code was pretty odd, "deliver mail from 451 <jeandav...@verizon.net>" like the 451 is somehow part of the address. Weird. HTH, Peter. [1] Unless someone explicitly configures two mail servers to chat to each other on that port because... well, because they wanted to do that. A mail server can be configured to inscribe your mail on a stone with a chisel if you configure it to do so, but that doesn't mean it's a normal thing to do. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
