No need for that either. Even I think poorly designed MUAs like OE can not handle SMTPS. > Hongwei Pleas read a howto for enabling SMTP AUTH running Sendmail, i.e. following http://www.joreybump.com/code/howto/smtpauth.html Just note that the location of the TLS certificates changes with FC4 release. So if you offer STARTTLS to secure insecure AUTH mechanisms LOGIN and PLAIN (Outlook and OE can't use secure MD5 mechanisms) - which is highly recommended to be secured - make sure you define the propers paths.
