[Cialug] Email server

[Kyle H]

Thank you. So I can get it working using an encrypted port with ssl
possibly? Don't recall the pet numbers off the top of my head. Add long add
it isn't port 25 but is a pretty interoperable with other mail servers? If
I got a business account would this be unblocked?

Thank you!
