Zimbra Server - can receive email but not send

I need to connect to a Zimbra Server for secure email - I can receive email but not connect. I get a connection refused error for sending email.

I am using a G4 mac, Mac Mail, OS X 10.4.11, AT&T dsl service.

Can anyone tell me what settings need to be changed to make the connection for outgoing email?

Thanks!

Hi John, are you using port 587 for outgoing mail with authentication checked? And maybe TLS?

I went back to try that port - same result

Do you know if this is a Mac problem (as the tech strongly implied) or a server issue?

Thanks

John

I don't have a Zimbra server to try to connect to, but I see directions for setting up Zimbra for Mac's Mail elsewhere, like near the bottom of this page...

I see this one uses Port 465, which is different than the last one I checked.

That worked - thank you, thank you!

I just switched to port 465 and put in my password as authentication. Too simple.

Thanks again!!
