In my experience (outlook 2000, not tested on outlook express) this =
won't work. Outlook doesn't seem to understand that "use SSL" means "use =
STARTLS". What I did was to configure sendmail to also support "smtps" =
(SSL before SMTP) on the smtps port (465) and point outlook at that port =
with the "use ssl" checked.=20
