No, I was saying "wrong" to the pwerson that said port 25 isn't used by
any system anymore, and who also made the mistake of thinking that port
25 was a "unix thing" (or something to that effect). That person was NOT
me.

Yep, and that is what *I* said, too.

You mean a port like, say, port 587, which I have had configured for
years? Again, I think you've gotten me confused with the other guy.
Btw, port 587 is one of those that I said are used for authentication,
as opposed to port 25 which is UNauthenticated.
Yep, you definitely mixed me up with the other (or another) poster.
