[BlueOnyx:06294] set smtp to allow roaming users?

[Jim Dory]

  I've been researching how to allow users to use Thunderbird instead of 
webmail when traveling with their laptops.

I enabled smtps in the GUI for port 465 (in case various ISPs are 
blocking port 25) and figure it may be the easiest to set up.. but it 
isn't yet working when I tested it last night. A "netstat -tupan | grep 
465" shows sendmail listening.

There is also port 587. To let Thunderbird use that, I assume you need 
to manually specify that port in the smtp config dialog in Thunderbird 
and does it use STARTTLS? It looks like I have to uncomment this line in 
the sendmail.mc file:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')
so that sendmail listens.

Am I on the right track? There is also this line:
dnl FEATURE(delay_checks)dnl
Perhaps I need to uncomment.

thanks for any help, JD
