Re: [Logicmail-users] Sending email

[Derek K. <dko...@lo...>]

There are two forms of SSL-enabled SMTP:

1) SSL-only SMTP on port 465
2) Plaintext SMTP on port 25, which switches to SSL mode after connected.  
(often called "TLS")

LogicMail 1.x only supports #1, but many mail servers default to #2, so I'd 
check and see what your server works with.

LogicMail 2.x (development version, bleeding edge, called 1.9.1.x on the 
website) does support #2 as well, FYI.

It would also be interesting to look at the packet trace during the 
authentication process (look for "connection debugging" on the debugging 
section of the website) to see what's actually going wrong.  Basically, I 
suspect its one of the following:
1) Incorrect SSL type
2) Bad login username/password
3) Some aspect of the username/password that is being incorrectly formatted 
when sent to the server
4) Something weird with Exchange that I haven't seen before
