When using a Red Hat default implementation, xinetd defines the service to use the "imaps" service, which is mapped to 993 in /etc/services. Therefore, whether it's right or not, it is the default behavior. That being said, one would expect that default behavior to be matched in the primary mail client on your workstations. Perhaps in an ideal world, yes, this would be the case (take Sendmail's TLS implementation). - -Rick - -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - rjohnson@medata.com Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
