It wasn't my "first instinct"... or I would have replied to you about 14
messages ago...
But I mean, really - *LOOK* right up there above where he told you *WHY*
it had to be changed, and what port to change it to. Then, you
highlight the default port and asking him *WHY* is he telling you to
change it to 587... Come on man, don't you see how ridiculous that is?
Believe me, I don't know everything about SBBS setup either, but....
when I ask a question, and I get answer as to how to fix it, including
*WHY* that will fix it.... I do the change and thank them for the info -
NOT ask them why they're telling me to change something.
... If what you don't know can't hurt you, she's practically invulnerable.
