Betreff: Re: [exim] Smtp-Authentication problems (using courier-authdaemond on debian etch)
Hello,

by now I tryed to activate Port 465 for SMTP-TLS Connections and tested
that via telnet. I added these lines at the very beginning of my
Main-Section of /etc/exim4/exim4.conf:

<<
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 465:25 -oP /var/run/exim4/exim.pid'
tls_on_connect_ports=465
>>


But Port 465 is still closed as this telnet session says:
<<
vitruvia:/etc/mailman# telnet localhost 465
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
>>


After having changed tls_on_connect_ports to =25, at least I got a
connection that terminated itself (I suspect because the telnet failed
to do a TLS-auth):
<<
vitruvia:/etc/mailman# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
>>


But I need port 465 for my friends using Windows...
What can I do to open port 465?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Andreas
