I ask because KMail (my setup at home that works) says to use > SSL, not TLS which uses port 465. At the server, I use sockstat and see that > on IPv4 sendmail has an open port on 465. Depending on the mailserver and its setup it should be able to support SSL/TLS and unencrypted session on port 25. On port 465 Only SSL/TLS sessions are supported. There is also port 587 (again depending on the server and setup) that uses port 587 just for the submission of email using unencrypted/SSL/TLS sessions. Depending on the mailserver it should also be able to support authentication on any of the 3 above ports. I hope that helps.
