That is as it should be. The smtps port is configured to work only with tls/ssl, which telnet does not know how to deal with.

Hi,
Well, we seem to be getting somewhere.
It doesn't hang anymore, and it seems to connect just fine.
However, now it still refuses to send mail (although now it receives it, phew!).
Here are some errors when I try sending mail:
Dec1 17:41:26 mtgames postfix/smtpd[17046]: connect from ip72-219-42-29.br.br.cox.net[72.219.42.29]

Dec1 17:41:26 mtgames postfix/smtpd[17046]: disconnect from ip72-219-42-29.br.br.cox.net[72.219.42.29]
I wonder what 554 means, for some reason it seems to not like the email or something.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
-Michael.
A copy of the email is below:


The body of the email says:
hi!

Then my signature (which I won't disclose here since it contains my contact info (other than email address, as y'all already know some of them ).

Edit: It isn't sending on two of my email accounts, so it's not just this one.

Have you set up your mail client to supply the correct account and password when you try to send the mail? It looks like you are not even trying to authenticate.

I'm pretty sure my mail client is trying to authenticate, but there is something in that main.cf file about noanonymous.
And when I connect, it does say anonymous tls or something like that.
I wonder, does anyone know what settings I should use for the smtp server for my mail client?
I currently use port 465, require secure checked, clear text authentication, and I'm sure my password is right.
Thanks,
-Michael.

Hi,
I still can't seem to get my email client working with my current configuration.
Therefore, I would like to ask: Does anyone know the proper settings for the email client to get it to connect over ssl?
My current settings are:
Outgoing email: smtp.mtgames.org
username: my email address.
logon using: Cleartext authentication.
My server requires authentication: yes.
Smtp server port: 465.
Requires ssl: yes.
Thanks for any help,
-Michael.
