nmap; something else I see I don't have installed; I'm learning other stuff here.... {-; > So you should rather try > "smtp://u...@mail.eskimo.com:25" > "smtp://u...@mail.eskimo.com:2525" > "smtps://u...@mail.eskimo.com:2525" These result in tls-related errors after the afore-mentioned 10-minute wait. I managed to get through to a knowledgable person at eskimo.com and he thinks my problem is that, currently, the mailserver doesn't support ssl at all. However, when I set ssl_starttls to "no" it merely changes the error message. Searching TFM for tls doesn't reveal anything else that looks relevant; is there something Double Top Secret? btw, thanks for your time. -- Dave Williams d...@eskimo.com
