Well, since this was a secure connection test, needed openssl for the connect, not telnet. And how to do that on Windows? I DID try it on this F20 notebook, and of course it worked just fine. That was why I really suspected Windows TLS functions. Then when I was trying again, I caught a little pop up in the system tray saying how the nanny software was blocking the bad program that was trying to do https to port 995... Hey Robert, There is a command on linux to test ssl/tls smtp server : openssl s_client -connect mail.example.com:port -starttls smtp
You just need openssl for windows here : http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Let me know if this is working. Regards
