| reply to PapaMidnight Re: Boo
said by PapaMidnight :TLS or SSL are always options. NO they are not since VZ does not support SSL on their POP or SMTP Servers (and does not support the SMTP-over-SSL and POP-over-SSL Ports [465 and 995 respectively]).
BTW: The blocking of Port25 is for attempts to connect to Non-VZ SMTP MSA Servers (Mail Injection from Clients) when using VZ connectivity. The activation of Port587 is good news since it means that you can now securely use the VZ MSA Servers when connected to some other Network (such as a WiFi or Hotel) where your UserID/PW can be monitored/stolen.
Even Better would be if VZ provided SSL support (as mentioned above). |
