Hello, Since ages I do use mutt as MUA to leer mit correos (fetched with IMAPs) and send outboud via a normal senmail configuration in my laptop (configured in /etc/mail/ the normal way with make). All this works fine, as said since ages, when I'm in Europe. sendmail delivers the mail by SMTP to port 25 of my ISP smtp.1blu.de. When I'm in Cuba, connected via data mobile to the cuban cellphone network, they block outbound port 25 traffic, for whatever reason and I have to bypass sendmail with a configuration in mutt to send mails to smtp.1blu.de:465 I have had a look into the port mail/ssmtp which addresses this problem sending mail to port 465, but has no queuing etc. of mails. My question is, is there a way to configure sendmail to use SSL port 465 to the remote mail HUB?
