Answer to the first part of your question: yes, Sendmail can be used with SSL over port 465. Second part, Fedora related/specific: yes here too. The Sendmail shipped with Core 1 and 2 - upcoming FC3 version too - is build with SSL support, while this still has the state FFR (for future release). If you run: sendmail -bt -d0.13 < /dev/null | grep SSL you will see that. You will have to create a certificate as for the STARTTLS usage and setup a daemon on port 465 in the .mc file: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=142.46.200.221, Port=465, Name=SSA, M=Eas')dnl If I remember correctly, Outlook (OE too) still has a problem with that (blame Microsoft for that). For details, if a topic for you, see: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=SSL+465+Outlook&hl=de&lr=&group=comp.mail.sendmail&c2coff=1&selm=9gcnd3%242cj%241%40simancas.uva.es&rnum=2 http://groups.google.com/groups?q=SSL+465+Outlook&hl=de&lr=&group=comp.mail.sendmail&c2coff=1&selm=4021554d_1%40127.0.0.1&rnum=1 More hits if you search google groups in group comp.mail.sendmail for "SSL 465 Outlook". Hope that helps.
