Delivery to remote port 465 requires that you use stunnel. Look with your favourite search engine for: postfix stunnel 465. Delivery to port 465 is not built into the Postfix SMTP client because that protocol has been obsolete for 10+ years. That said, it would not take much code to support this in the SMTP client. I guess it is not implemented for techo-religuous reasons. Wietse
