Myrealbox without port 25

Shown is OE settings for sending Email through the Myrealbox SMTP without using port 25. My version of OE resets the outgoing port# back to 25 when you check the SSL box, so be sure the port stays set to 465 for SMTPS. Many other Email clients have similar settings.

For those not aware, Myrealbox is a free service operated by Novel. It is used as a demonstration site and testbed for their server products. As an engineering testbed, the site may not be available 100% but overall availability is about the same as the Cox servers. The Myrealbox servers filter everything for spam and virus content, users have no choice in that matter.

If your mail client doesn't support SSL, you can use Stunnel to forward and encrypt port 25 traffic to your SMTPS server. Just have it take traffic on port 25 and redirect it to port 465 on your SMTPS server, and tell your mail client to use localhost for SMTP on port 25. I'm using it with Calypso, and it works great.

As long as you're encrypting your SMTP traffic, you might as well do it to your POP3 or IMAP connections as well if the server supports it, since your username and password are being sent.

BTW, thanks for blocking port 25, Cox. If you hadn't, I would've never learned how to use Stunnel and wouldn't be using it to encrypt SMTP, POP3, and VNC.
