Outlook XP will only use starttls if the smtp port is set to 25. If it is set to any other port number and the 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' is checked then it will always try smtps instead of starttls. I found this out the hard way :-( I was able to kind of get confirmation of this from the following post : http://groups.google.com/groups?q=outlook+starttls+ssl+port&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=OhAJjSAyCHA.2916%40TK2MSFTNGP09&rnum=1 It appears outlook didn't always do this, but it does now. Hopefully this little tid bit can prevent someone else from banging their head on the wall. Thanks for adding this, I had to do this locally just the other day to make Outlook happy. -Joseph
