[GRLUG] Evolution NO TLS?

[Mark Farver]

Telnet to port 25 on the mail server.  After the 220 banner messages type
"EHLO client.example.com" press enter and cut and past the entire session
here.

No mail client can use SSL by default on port 25.  It will fail on every
server.  SMTP over SSL should be on port 465.  SSL on port 25 can be
requested by the client but only after the server offers the option.
Something more subtle than an configuration option is at work here.


Evolution also had a bug for awhile where messages compared while SSL
options were turned on would never be sent if SSL was later turned
off...but that was a long time ago.
